Nelson House of Ottawa – Carleton, an emergency shelter for women and children, is delighted to bring back its Celebratory Fall Tribute dinner this year on Thursday, November 21, 2019 at St. Elias Centre.
Nelson House has 20 beds available to women in need, but only 15 of those are funded by the government. The House is often operating over capacity. Nelson House not only provides safety for women and children who are being abused but also works closely with groups and individuals towards ending violence against women.
