About Jericho Road

Jericho Road is a community of people who strive to move from addiction to connection through addiction recovery, peer support, community engagement, and spiritual development.

Our 9-month residential addiction treatment program is the first step in the long journey of recovery for many of our clients. We share our own lived experience, strength and hope through peer mentorship and the 12 Steps not only to our clients but to their friends, family and greater community as well.


We do recover, together.


Join us on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 for the Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk and help us raise vital support for those in need right here in our community.

About Capital City Mission

Capital City Mission exists to meet the needs of the unemployed and street-involved in Ottawa’s Lowertown, by demonstrating God’s love. The Drop-In is the first point of contact for many searching for health care, addiction services, mental health support, and housing options.

Many of our friends struggle with mental health issues and addictions resulting in isolation from the broader community. Our purpose is to provide a safe, quiet, and respectful space that fosters friendships and community. Together we make a home.


Join us on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 to walk and fundraise with us through the Coldest Night of the Year and together we can make a difference in the lives of those most vulnerable right here in our community.
