General Info

In 1952, a number of concerned citizens formed a Rooms Registry Committee to provide safe housing for girls and women in Sudbury. The first Annual Meeting of the Sudbury YWCA was held in February 1955. The Rooms Registry Committee became an organized YWCA, incorporating in 1958. Over the next 16 years, the rooms and apartments at 122-4 Larch were home to students in teaching, nursing and business courses, working women, travellers, young women needing guidance and women and their children in emergency situations. As other facilities for women became available, the YW residence was increasingly utilized by abused women and their children looking for a safe refuge. In 1983, the YWCA of Sudbury was successful in acquiring the funding for an emergency housing facility at 224 Elm Street. This facility was named Genevra House after Genevra Richards, the first Executive Director of the Sudbury YWCA. The YWCA Sudbury also offered a Service Coordination Program to both men and women with developmental disabilities. This centralized program assisted families and individuals who depended on the various services available in the District of Sudbury and Manitoulin. In affiliation with the dynamic tradition of YWCA Canada, the YWCA Sudbury has been instrumental in addressing current needs of the community. We are proud of the heritage of strong leadership by women and the commitment to meeting these needs and shaping a better future.
