Unlocking The Gates Services Society

Supports the reintegration of men and women who are leaving provincial correctional facilities in BC. Works with community agencies in order to connect with individuals inside prison during pre-release planning, and to offer peer support and engagement during the immediate transition days following release from prison. Examples of support include meeting individuals at the prison gate, accompaniment to the welfare office or AA/NA meetings, and assistance with acquiring safe housing, clothing, or a family doctor. Hours are 9 am to 4 pm Monday to Friday. Funded by the First Nations Health Authority.
