TNDF
Social Services
Formally established in 2023, our Social Services branch goes beyond addressing immediate needs, offering programs and services to support and sustain growth for individuals, families, and the community as a whole.
a safe space
Transitional Housing
TNDF will be closing the doors of our Transitional Housing program in 2025, and we have stopped accepting new applicants to the program.
We are grateful for the support of the community over the past few years, and are glad to have been able to help the families who came through our program.
Practical knowledge
Life Skills Workshops
Through life-skills workshops, we aim to empower all community members by providing them practical knowledge and tools to help them thrive. We bring in subject matter experts to cover a variety of subjects, such as:
- Babysitting
- First Aid and CPR
- Financial Literacy
- Parenting
- Mental Health
Access support
Social Service Access Points
TNDF partners with a number of Social Service and Governmental agencies in an effort to increase accessibility to our community members. We regularly host organizations who can help with employment, income supports, tax filing, and much more.

warm up
Winter Warming Station
On cold days, community members can come into our Hub at 16 York Street, Cannington, during our operating hours to grab a drink, use the washroom, charge their phone, and take a brief seat to warm up in the lobby.
If there are no activities taking place in the dining room, folks can stay in the dining room for up to 2 hours or until the space is needed for programming.
For any inquiries about winter warming, contact Beth at beth@tndf.ca or 705-432-2444.

We have wifi, laptops, phones, printers, and scanners on site that you can use during operating hours for essential purposes such as scanning, printing, or making a call.
