The Ottawa Mission

Jesus, the staff at that place now are so intimidating and do not show any compassion towards the homeless.

I understand now that The Mission is a melting pot, a place where people from all walks of life and cultures with different life problems converge.
It would make sense that there'll be misunderstandings so to whoever is spending time there, I advice to be positive and respectful to all; residents and staff for your own wellbeing 😉

Who ever is answering your phone needs a hearing aid and to stop repeating herself and actually listen to what the person on the other end is saying. It like you trained her but only gave her 1 line

5 star meals, was surprised with the quality.
If I am staying in Ottawa again I will definitely be booking here.

Although my kids did not enjoy the accommodations. Only real con was no Indoor pool and having to leave my room at seven for a bed check, general population was a little crowded.

Overall positive experience.

The ppl they have operating the truck are racists and bigotts that think it's ok to abuse and put down there clients and some of them have used the words stupid cracker along with other words, the office thinks this is ok.......

Some of the kindest people I have ever met. The driver I relied on, to drive me back home, left me stranded downtown. I had no money, and no one to call for help. I walked to the mission, they were beyond kind, everyone that spoke to me was so nice, they even gave me a water bottle likely because I was extremely anxious, and overwhelmed. They got me a taxi voucher, and I got home safe. Words can't express my gratitude. Thank you so much.

Something kind of bizarre about this place. First. 20 year old girls yelling at men 3 times their age. Evictions just after a few months just for not getting welfare. Because this place gets kickbacks? Calling police for any stupid thing with staff. One guy rightfully said that this place is publicly funded and he had a right to be there. Cops called to take him out. And he was sitting quiet. Staff here are deluded and think this is some sort of holy place. Human rights abuses. Lawyer time. And asking for a persons medicine. The name is on the label and the pills belong to that person only. Not the mission. This place over extends itself into our lives here and the staff think that they have a right to control every aspect of a person. Nobody has that right.
