JPAF2026 is made possible with support from the Jasper Place Arts Society, Stony Plain Road Business Association, Edmonton Arts Council, REACH Edmonton, Long and McQuade, No Frills, Jasper Place Wellness Centre, Councillor Reed Clarke and the Taste of Edmonton.

Over the last 6 days, we have had the privilege of hosting Dr. David Sheard as we continue reflecting on how we can strengthen and improve the way we support vulnerable people in our community.

In affordable and program-based housing like Bridge Healing, we have spent years focused on developing the structures, staffing models, and systems needed to help people stabilize and move forward. But at JPWC, we have increasingly recognized that we have not spent enough time understanding what these environments should feel like on the inside.

Through workshops, reflection, and honest conversations, this week challenged us to think differently about belonging, human connection, and overall, what it means to create environments that foster hope, meaning, identity, purpose, spirit, and home.

This is not quick work. Building emotionally intelligent, resilient housing environments takes time, humility, intentionality, and a willingness to keep learning and evolving.

There is a long road ahead and much work to do. But this time to learn left us with hope, vision, and a deeper understanding of what may be possible when people come together with openness, honesty, and a shared commitment to doing our work better.

We are deeply grateful to the Alberta Women’s Foundation and Glenora Rotary for helping make this work possible.

We are equally grateful to the guests of Bridge Healing, staff, leadership, board members, and community partners who showed up fully and honestly, and who were willing to have difficult conversations & cry together throughout the workshops.

Lastly, thank you to Dr. Sheard for leading this work. We are excited to continue building it out together.

Tomorrow!

Housing Forward is about moving beyond conversation and into action.

This summit brings together leaders from across sectors to focus on real, practical solutions for housing and the partnerships it takes to make them work.

Our CEO and Co-Founder, Murray Soroka, will be joining a panel on housing as health infrastructure and reducing system pressure through partnership.

If you are working in this space, this is a chance to be part of a conversation grounded in real experience, real challenges, and real solutions.

Our May Programming & Resource Calendar!

On May 5th, Red Dress Day, JPWC staff members attended the Red Dress Walk in honour of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People.

Being present at community events like these is an important part of our work, creating space to listen, learn, deepen understanding, and build meaningful connections within the community.

We are grateful to have stood alongside community members in reflection and solidarity.

At JPWC, housing is about more than buildings.

It’s about people, compassion, and community.
Balancing property management with meaningful service provision takes someone truly exceptional.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Meliha Gearing for being named Property Manager of the Year at the Alberta Residential Landlord Association (ARLA Edmonton) Achievement Awards Luncheon!

Meliha’s professionalism, dedication, and care make a difference every day for both our tenants and our community. We are grateful to have her as part of the JPWC team.

Way to go, Mell!
