On March 26, Odyssey House welcomed back its Women’s Day Celebration, recognizing the resilience and achievements of the women in our housing programs. This was the first in-person Women’s Day since COVID-19, reviving a tradition that Janice Slaughter, Vice President, Director of Mental Health & Housing Services, had led for 15 years before the pandemic.
Held at Odyssey House Harbor, the event honored tenants selected from various programs for their positive community spirit, commitment to recovery, financial responsibility, and engagement with
Odyssey House staff.
“Coming together for Women’s Day reminds us that there’s strength in every woman, and even more when we stand together.”
– Janice Slaughter
The program featured poetry, music, and an address from guest speaker Minister-Elect Regina Owes, as well as an art display and a Tai Chi demonstration.
