The Elizabeth Fry Society Sudbury Branch was established in 1972 by a group of volunteers from the Sudbury community and is an autonomous, community-based non-profit charitable organization. Throughout our 50 years in Northeastern Ontario the Society has delivered programming that contributes to improving the knowledge, life skills, coping strategies, and stability of criminalized people, with a particular focus on women and young women.
The Society also focuses on promoting and providing community-based alternatives to incarceration and promoting community awareness of criminal and social justice issues.
In 2018, the Society changed its name to the Elizabeth Fry Society of Northeastern Ontario to reflect the services provided in Sudbury, North Bay, Espanola, Massey, Sturgeon Falls, and Mattawa. Our services are offered in both French and English.
