Grounded Community Centre
       by The One in Five Project

Grounded is a hybrid space — part local shop, part community centre.

 

When you walk through our doors, you’ll find shelves of thoughtfully curated, locally made art and sensory-friendly goods alongside tables set up for workshops, movement classes, and casual drop-in activities. Some days we’re hosting structured skill-building workshops. Other days, it’s quiet creativity, new friendships forming, or families celebrating low-cost birthday parties.

 

There’s a sensory room for anyone who needs a pause, and a completely free community shop stocked with clothing, food, diapers, and toiletries — because care should be accessible.

 

Whether you’re here to meet new people, try something new, shop local, or simply exist in community, you’re welcome.
