Elmwood is a newly redeveloped community hub space located at 140 Elmwood Ave in North Bay, ON. We are committed to ensuring that our community has dedicated and easy access to programs and services, building resilience within local families. In this effort, Elmwood is undergoing a large redevelopment in 2023/2024 to expand and upgrade the space of a former public school.
The redevelopment will help bridge a gap in the community by offering much-needed shared space where we can grow together. The expansion will include the addition of a community kitchen, tech lab, boardroom, youth art studio and quiet lounge as well as renovations to the existing Beauchamp Youth Hub, youth pantry, clothing boutique and gymnasium. In collaboration with and thanks to the support of local partners we are making these spaces available for booking by residents and partner organizations. These expansions are poised to provide a revitalized and youth-driven design, creating a vibrant hub for youth and community programming.
Elmwood is designed to promote positivity and collaboration among groups, families, and youth in addition to supporting the growth and success of local partners. The multi-use hub space will unite health, education, safety, mental health and early intervention services all under one roof, strengthening the community and better servicing the needs of Northern Ontario residents as well as partner organizations. Elmwood will have something for people of all ages!

“I have been truly impressed by the passion everyone at the Children’s Aid has for helping youth in the community and I am excited about supporting them to expand reach and services. The Hub already offers a wide range of programs and services designed to help young people reach their full potential. From mentorship programs to everyday life skills and support, job search workshops and more, there is something for every young person in need. The staff at the hub are truly dedicated to helping these young people succeed and it's been amazing to see the impact they have already had. With the expansion the Hub will be positioned to help so many more youth and expand its impact to the broader North Bay community with additional programs and services.”
