Why this matters

No one should face this alone

"Nearly 1 in 2 Canadian women who have been in a relationship have experienced intimate partner violence in their lifetime."

Statistics Canada, 2021 ↗

"In rural communities, women face intimate partner violence at more than four times the urban rate — and isolation makes it harder to leave."

Department of Justice Canada ↗

In an isolated community like Grande Cache, local, confidential support is even more vital. That's why we're here — 24 hours a day.

Our mission

A safe house, and a stronger community

"To provide a 24-hour safe house and information service for women and their children."

We believe preventing family violence matters as much as responding to it — by supporting families and individuals in our community, so that together we can build a stronger, safer, and more supportive community.

Since 1985

Serving Grande Cache for nearly 40 years

Grande Cache Transition House Society is a community-run safe house and outreach service for women and children in our northern Alberta community. We've been here since 1985.
