About Mountain Rose Centre

Mountain Rose Women's Shelter Association (MRWSA) was incorporated in 1990 and became a registered charity in 1992. Since 1990, MRWSA continues to provide services to women, children, and seniors who are in immediate need of safety and security due to domestic/family violence.

MRWSA Vision: A world Without Gender-Based Violence.


MRWSA Mission: To build on our abilities to meet individual, family, and the changing needs of those impacted by gender-based violence by providing trauma-informed services, increase community engagement, and championing the voices of all survivors by creating safe spaces for help, hope, and healing.


In September 2019, The Mountain Rose Centre opened. This new location provides a 21-bed emergency shelter, 5 Second Stage/Transitional Apartments, administrative office, and a variety of Community Support Services. A new logo was developed in recognition of this milestone.


The Mountain Rose Centre is so much more than a roof over the heads of women and children; it is a lifeline for people in crisis.


Philosophy


  • We believe in a non-violent society in which women have both the freedom and the responsibility to direct all the important aspects of their lives: emotional, intellectual, spiritual, economic, sexual and cultural.

  • We believe that meaningful action toward a non-violent society necessitates changing community awareness of and challenging the acceptability of victimization of women and children.

  • We believe women can evaluate their fears, attitudes, alternatives and options in a manner that will enhance the empowerment of all women.

Mandate


To provide services, which are designed and delivered in a manner which will promote the self esteem, independence, and the individual decision making of women and their children and other women experiencing gender-based violence.
