Drop-In Hours offer snacks, games, art, discussions and more. Depending on the day, there may be special themes or activities. As these vary from week-to-week, check “@KanataCentre33” on Facebook or Instagram for updates.

The Drop-In provides informal peer support and is facilitated by Centre33 staff and/or volunteers. It’s a great place to build community, explore identity and work on developing social skills and relationships. We will sometimes have a facilitated discussion based on each group’s specific needs and wants. Discussions may include topics such as gender diversity, pronouns, safe storytelling, self-care, support systems, communication, and more. Participation in discussions isn’t mandatory, youth are welcome to eat snacks and just hangout.
