Welcoming Streets Oshawa

Carea Community Health Centre, the City of Oshawa, and the Downtown Oshawa B.I.A. and have partnered to bring the Welcoming Streets pilot project to downtown Oshawa. Based on a successful model used in Guelph, the pilot project brings targeted outreach services to vulnerable community members in the downtown core as well as education and training to area businesses.

Through the Welcoming Streets Initiative, the partners are helping to bridge the gap between business owners and community members who are vulnerable in our downtown. The aim of the project is to foster a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for all by supporting downtown business owners and assisting community members in need of assistance.
