The philosophy of Edmison House is to demonstrate to each resident that the community cares and is concerned about his release. We understand that reintegration can be difficult and do our best to assist our residents in every aspect of their release.
The St. Leonard's Society of Peterborough operates Edmison House, a federal halfway home for men. Edmison House opened in January of 1977. We have specialized in the area of working with Lifers and have a rich history of developing work skills training programs.
The St. Leonard's Society of Peterborough also owns and operates several supportive housing initiatives including a five bedroom rooming house, run as a supportive independent living program for graduates of Edmison House. The society also has a stock of one bedroom apartments including a sixplex and a fourplex both located in the core area of the city.
