Our Vision

About Safe Harbour Society

Poised for the Future

Safe Harbour recognizes our city has grown and the needs of our citizens and community have changed.
Safe Harbour is committed to charting our future course so that our services reflect the needs of our growing city, our residents, our community, and those in need.

Safe Harbour has begun a new voyage to adapt and change our service delivery to ensure people are safe and moved beyond homelessness into housing and from addiction and mental health issues into recovery.
With our on-site medically supported detox, emergency shelter, outreach teams, housing team, and Indigenous cultural supports, Safe Harbour is a critical entry point to help Central Albertans access a wide array of supports.
