One week to go!!
Recovery Day Ottawa Valley is almost here, and we would love to see you there!
Join us for a day of connection, community, hope and celebration as we come together to recognize that recovery is possible — and that there are many pathways to healing.

This year, we’re shining a light on wholistic healing and the people, supports and approaches that help individuals build lives of meaning, wellness and connection.

Whether you are in recovery, supporting someone you love, working in the field, or simply want to stand with your community — you belong at Recovery Day.

Come out. Bring a friend. Meet some incredible people. And help us celebrate recovery in the Ottawa Valley.

See you all there!

Once again, we are wickedly delighted to support downtown Renfrew's Freaky Friday.
Dare to wander down to 196 Argyle Street South, where the moonlight fades and the air grows cold, and step through the doors of MacKay Manor's Haunted House Tour.
Whispers echo through the halls, shadows dancing upon the walls and long-forgotten souls stir from their restless slumber.
Enter - if your courage does not falter.
Leave - if the manor allows it!
