On April 27, 1983, the Centre Bon Jour Toi opened in the St-Mathieu wing of the Grey Nuns’ Mother House. The center offers services to women who are alone or in precarious situations. A clothing bank, artistic activities and a referral service are provided by nuns and lay volunteers. The Centre Bon Jour Toi ceased operations in 2007.
