We provide over 40 programs across 15 Edmonton locations to individuals, families and children who are experiencing poverty and homelessness.

Bissell Centre is a social value agency that has been operating in Edmonton’s inner city since 1910.

WHAT IS
COURAGEOUS VOICES?
Courageous Voices is a ground-breaking, hopeful journey to drive profound structural changes in addressing poverty and houselessness in Edmonton through a deep-listening process.
Transformational change must emerge from the people who are at the core of our work. Courageous Voices will promote inclusive conversations that decentralize power, lift marginalized voices, and disrupt old ways of thinking.
Decisions about the future will be shaped by ever-deepening exploration through 2024. Next steps, which will be fully informed by what was heard through the listening journey, will be identified in mid-2025
