Glasswaters House
Located in northwest Calgary, Glasswaters House had been used as a convent since the mid-1950s. The building underwent a major renovation in the late 1980s when a second and third floor and additional common amenity spaces were added to the existing building. Through the following decades, the convent’s sisters would call the building home.
By 2019, the sisters recognized their convent could serve the community in new and different ways. The building was purchased and gifted to Horizon Housing through glasswaters foundation.
Today, in partnership with Emma House, 10 new and expectant mothers at-risk of homelessness make Glasswaters House their home. Here they begin their journey of motherhood, accessing the support and stability needed to transform their experience of vulnerability to one of resilience and independence.
