Causeway Work Centre

Causeway is a not-for-profit agency that helps people with mental illness and other challenges find meaningful, rewarding work and live more independently. By helping everyone overcome challenges and reach their full potential, we are helping establish stronger and more inclusive communities. At Causeway, we call our employment programs, social enterprises, and support services Avenues because of the journey we go on together with our clients.
