24 Years of First Steps

May 21, 2026

Today we proudly celebrate 24 incredible years of First Steps, a place of hope, support, and new beginnings for young mothers and their babies.

For nearly a quarter century, First Steps has provided a safe, caring, and non-judgemental home where young families can grow, learn, and build brighter futures together. Along with a supportive home environment, we are proud to offer the Dr. Christine Davies Education Centre, helping young mothers continue their education, as well as First Steps Early Learning Centre, where their children receive loving care while their mothers learn and work toward their goals.

We are also proud to offer our Second Steps program, which supports mothers as they transition toward independence by helping them move into and succeed in their own apartments while continuing to build strong, stable futures for themselves and their children.

As part of today’s celebration, we would also like to share a heartfelt letter from one of our residents who is now transitioning into her own apartment with her child! A powerful reminder of the impact that support, compassion, and opportunity can have on a young family’s future.

To everyone who has been part of this journey, our dedicated staff, volunteers, board members, supporters, and the courageous young mothers who have walked through our doors, thank you for making First Steps a place where support, opportunity, acceptance, and brighter futures begin.

Here’s to 24 years of changing lives, one family at a time.
