Celebrating 30 Years of
Ripples That Changed Lives

Transforming Lives. Reclaiming Futures. Preventing Youth Homelessness.

Since 1996, Safe Haven Foundation has provided sanctuary, stability, and self-determined futures to Calgary's girls and young women at-risk or experiencing homelessness — creating ripples of change that extend across our community.

For 30 years, Safe Haven has been supporting girls and young women to move from crisis to confidence — breaking cycles of housing instability and reclaiming futures before homelessness takes root.

Join us in celebrating three decades of building futures — and be part of the ripple that shapes what comes next.

Established in 1996

Safe Haven Foundation of Canada was founded by Karen Sherbut and her husband John after Karen turned her own childhood trauma into a powerful purpose.

For 30 years, Safe Haven has provided a secure, supportive environment for young women and girls facing homelessness—offering not just shelter, but hope, stability, and the foundation for a successful future.
