The 2023-24 fiscal year was outstanding for Banyan; we celebrated several achievements, program expansion, and the opening of our Manor location at 490/500 Mohawk Road East in Hamilton, Ontario.

During 2023, our dedicated staff worked hard to deliver our existing programs and services while at the same time launched six (6) new program offerings.

Adult Protection Service Worker (APSW)
Alternative Dispute Resolution and Family Group Conferencing
Partner Assault Response (PAR)
Men’s Anti-Violence Program
Violence Against Women Counselling
Young Parent Program

This achievement is none other than astounding, one which expanded our capacity to deliver positive impact in all that we do for those we serve.

Built on our previous momentum and drive for quality and performance, in July 2023 Banyan was successful in achieving renewal status by the Canadian Centre for Accreditation for another four (4) year period ending 2027. This important achievement not only opens new opportunities for growth and collaboration, but it also serves as a validation of Banyan’s expertise, professionalism, and adherence to industry best practices.

Showcased in this annual report are just a few examples of the impact Banyan’s programs, services, and innovative collaborative efforts make when the aim is to rise above and lead through the challenges of today for a safer community tomorrow.

Our annual report provides a time to proudly reflect on the growth and many changes that have taken place within the organization. We are grateful for our staff, board, funders, and community partners who are equally committed to empower people and communities to take action towards improving the lives of those we serve.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and leadership team, we thank you all for being part of our journey and look forward to what is next to come.

Sincerely,

Kim Ciavarella
CEO
