Scope and content
This subseries contains a short history on the founding of My Sisters’ Place (also known as My Sister’s Place) at 534 Queens Avenue in London, by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of London, Ontario. The Sisters established and managed My Sisters’ Place, a transitional support centre for homeless women and women at risk of homelessness. It was ready for operation on October 11, 2004, and to coincide with Thanksgiving Day an open house tour and dinner event were held on site. A year later My Sisters’ Place moved to King Street and merged with the Western Ontario Therapeutic Community Hostel (WOTCH) Community Mental Health Services of London. In 2009, My Sisters’ Place moved to Dundas Street and is now run by the Canadian Mental Health Association - Thames Valley Addiction and Mental Health Services. This subseries contains speeches written by Sister Nancy Wales for the official opening of My Sisters’ Place in 2004 and the 10th anniversary, as well as invitation cards for the opening and photographs depicting the open house event. There is a small booklet titled, My Sisters’ Stories: Voices of the Women – A collection of poetry and prose by the women of WOTCH-My Sisters’ Place, published by the United Way of London Middlesex. In addition, there is a print of the watercolor painting My Sisters’ Place by Cathy Spiegler illustrating the front exterior of the house and surrounding greenery at 534 Queens Avenue.
