New Café Helping Patients

In every home, the kitchen is the anchor. It’s where people gather to make plans and share stories. This spring, thanks to generous donations to the The Royal, sta­ff, and patients at the Brockville Mental Health Centre will have this same special space with the creation of The River Café.

“Initiatives like The River Café are important to our donors because they see a direct and immediate reward to our patients. This is a project we’re proud to support,” says Mitchell Bellman, President & CEO, Royal Ottawa Foundation.

Trevor, a patient at the Brockville Mental Health Centre writes, “The River Café means job experience in customer service and learning communication skills. It will help me with job readiness for the community.”
