Providence Village FY2025-26 Annual Report

Where compassion connects 2025-26 Annual Report

Land Acknowledgement Providence Village is located in Katarokwi, on the unceded ancestral lands of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Huron-Wendat Peoples—a place that has long been home to diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. With humility and respect, we express our gratitude to Indigenous Peoples for their stewardship of these lands since time immemorial and we honour their deep connection to the land.

We are grateful for the land’s nourishment and gifts and recognize our shared responsibility to protect and sustain the land for all our relations, now and for generations to come. We acknowledge the profound and lasting impacts of colonization on Indigenous Peoples and commit to meaningful reconciliation. Our commitment extends beyond words—we strive to listen, learn, and walk together with Indigenous communities and to actively and intentionally contribute to a future of healing that upholds Indigenous rights, cultures, and traditions.

Letter from the Chair

The Board has also engaged in important discussions, looking at how the organization can continue to adapt and grow in ways that honour the Sisters’ vision while responding to emerging community needs and opportunities. This work has reinforced the importance of stewardship, sustainability, purposeful partnerships, and continued exploration of how Providence Village can strengthen its role as a collaborative and mission-driven organization.

Providence Village continues to grow as a collaborative organization rooted in the enduring legacy of the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul. Guided by the Sisters’ mission of compassion, service, and care for those in need, the Village brings together organizations and partners whose work strengthens health, wellbeing, social connection, and belonging across our region.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank the Sisters of Providence, partner organizations, volunteers, donors, and community supporters who contribute to the life of Providence Village and strengthen the wellbeing of our broader community. We are grateful for the care, professionalism, compassion, and commitment demonstrated each day by the Providence Village staff team.

Over the past year, the Board of Directors and leadership team have devoted significant attention to the long-term sustainability and future direction of Providence Village. This work has included strengthening governance and planning processes, advancing long-range financial planning, refining operational and partnership models, and ensuring the Village remains well-positioned, with the resources and capacity to serve the community in ways that are mission-aligned and sustainable over the long term.

I would also like to thank my fellow Board members for their thoughtful leadership, dedicated stewardship, and commitment throughout a year of important strategic discussion and planning.

A central responsibility of Providence Village is supporting the care and wellbeing of the Sisters of Providence while stewarding the ongoing growth and development of the Village. As planning continues in relation to the Sisters’ long-term care, the Board recognizes the importance of approaching this work responsibly and with deep respect for the Sisters’ vision, legacy, and significant contributions to our community.

Providence Village reflects an intentional model of partnership and shared impact. The organizations located within the Village contribute to a broad range of priorities, including health and wellness, social connection, and community resilience. Through shared spaces, collaboration, and coordination, Providence Village supports a more connected and integrated approach to wellbeing and support services.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to ensuring that Providence Village remains a sustainable, compassionate, and collaborative presence that honours the Sisters’ mission while supporting the wellbeing of our community for generations to come.

Letter from the President & CEO

We continued advancing our commitment to truth and reconciliation through the implementation of our Reconciliation Action Plan, including strengthening relationships with Indigenous partners, expanding learning opportunities, and creating more welcoming and culturally safe spaces. We also advanced the development of an Ecological Plan to help guide long-term environmental stewardship, land care, and sustainable development across the Village campus.

The past year at Providence Village has been marked by significant growth, new partnerships, and deepened collaboration, while continuing to provide compassionate care and support to the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul living at Providence Motherhouse.

Throughout the year, we remained focused on providing high-quality, person-centred care to the Sisters through ongoing recruitment, staff education, and investment in best practices in geriatric, palliative, and dementia care. At the same time, Providence Village continued to evolve as a collaborative community of care, welcoming nine new subtenant organizations to our growing campus. Each new partner brings programs, services, and expertise that strengthen the health and wellbeing of individuals and families across our community.

None of this work would be possible without the vision, trust, and support of the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul. Their grace, wisdom, and commitment to serving others continue to inspire all of us as the Village grows and evolves.

I would also like to sincerely thank our staff for the dedication, compassion, and professionalism they bring to their work each day. They exemplify our values through their care for the Sisters and their commitment to creating a welcoming environment at the Village. I am also grateful to the broader community for embracing and supporting our vision. Finally, thank you to our Board of Directors for their leadership, governance, and stewardship, and to our subtenant organizations and community partners for their collaboration and shared commitment to community wellbeing.

A central part of the Providence Village vision is creating an environment where organizations work not only alongside one another, but increasingly with one another. Over the past year, we have seen meaningful growth in collaboration among subtenant partners through shared programs, coordinated initiatives, resource sharing, and relationship-building.

Together, we are building a connected, inclusive, and compassionate community of care that will serve our region for generations to come.

We also advanced several important infrastructure and capital projects to support the Sisters, subtenant organizations, and the broader community. This included confirming plans for upgrades to the Central Utility Plant, advancing a sustainable long-term parking solution, improving network infrastructure and security systems, and completing accessibility upgrades within the Motherhouse. Together, these projects are helping create a safer, more accessible, and more welcoming environment for everyone at the Village.

Progress Towards our Strategic Plan 2025-2030

9

This year marked the first full year of implementation of our Strategic Plan 20252030, which we launched in November 2024. We are pleased to report significant progress towards our strategic priorities – ultimately growing and evolving the Village, while providing high-quality, compassionate care to the Sisters living at the Motherhouse.

Strategic Priority #1: Develop a Sustainable Resource Model This strategic priority is about ensuring that the Village demonstrates responsible stewardship of its resources and establishes a self-sufficient, sustainable business and financial model to ensure the Village’s long-term sustainability for years to come. This means diversifying our revenue models and leveraging and planning for optimal use of spaces at the Village for maximum benefit and impact.

Long-Range Financial Plan

Community Use Rentals

Providence Village operates on a cost-recovery model, which means that sublease rates are set to cover the costs of operating and maintaining the Village, rather than generating profit. This approach helps keep space affordable for notfor-profit organizations, allowing them to direct more of their resources toward serving the community. We review and update our LongRange Financial Plan annually ensure that sublease rates, cost structures, and financial assumptions remain aligned with day-to-day operations, changing market conditions, the Sisters’ vision, and the Village’s long-term goals.

To support our mission and long-term sustainability, Providence Village launched a Community Use program in June 2025. This program offers short-term rentals of shared spaces in Providence Motherhouse for both subtenants and the wider community. Fees are set to cover operating costs while remaining accessible for community groups, not-for-profits, and charitable organizations. It’s one of the ways we are opening up Village spaces to support the broader community.

The program also benefits subtenant organizations by providing flexible access to larger spaces when needed, without the cost of leasing them full-time. This allows organizations to host events or gatherings as needed, while directing more of their resources toward their core programs and services.

Business Model A key milestone this year was reviewing and updating Providence Village’s Business Model.

This model provides a clear framework to guide how financial, operational, and strategic decisions are made; ensuring long-term sustainability and alignment with our mission.

Together with our Long-Range Financial Plan, it supports responsible growth while maximizing our impact in the community.

Subtenant Spotlight The Alzheimer Society of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington In August 2023, the Alzheimer Society of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington became the first subtenant organization to join Providence Village — embracing the vision of a collaborative community of care during the Village’s earliest stages of growth. At the time, the campus looked very different, with major redevelopment projects only just beginning and the Village vision just starting to emerge. Their early commitment to joining the Village reflected a strong belief in the vision first imagined by the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul: a community rooted in compassion and care where people could experience hope, belonging and wellbeing.

Today, the Alzheimer Society of KFL&A continues to expand its impact across the community from their home at Providence Village, providing compassionate support, education, care navigation, and programs for individuals and families living with dementia across our region. Through services such as First Link® Care Navigation, caregiver support groups, educational workshops, and social and recreational programming, the organization helps ensure no one faces dementia alone.

11

Strategic Priority #2: Support Operational Stability This strategic priority focuses on continuing to provide high-quality, compassionate care to the Sisters living at the Motherhouse, while safely managing the operations of the Motherhouse and the broader 30-acre Village campus, including overseeing ongoing infrastructure and renovation projects, as well as the responsible stewardship of the land and preservation of green space alongside future development.

Capital Projects

Internal Wayfinding

We advanced planning and design work for several capital projects across the Village, including a surface parking solution, kitchen and dining room renewal, central utility plant upgrades, enhanced network infrastructure and security, and interior and exterior wayfinding.

These investments will improve accessibility, safety, and day-to-day functionality across the Village, while supporting future growth and enhancing the onsite experience.

We introduced a new internal wayfinding system in Providence Motherhouse to make it easier for visitors and partners to navigate as the Village continues to grow. The system is based on three key elements – wing, level, and room/suite number – similar to hospitals, conference centres and hotels. In anticipation of the opening of Providence Manor in late 2027 and other future development across the site, planning is underway on an exterior wayfinding strategy.

Onsite Accessibility Projects

Health-care Capacity

Improving physical accessibility across the Village has been a key priority over the past year.

Several upgrades were completed in Providence Motherhouse, including a new LULA lift, barrierfree washrooms, an upgraded elevator, and a new accessible entrance in the west wing. These improvements help remove physical barriers and make it easier for everyone to access and participate in the Village, supporting a more inclusive and welcoming community.

We continued to strengthen health-care capacity to support the Sisters living at the Motherhouse through ongoing recruitment of clinical staff to provide 24/7 nursing care. Throughout the year, clinical staff participated in targeted education and professional development focused on best practices in palliative, geriatric, and dementia care. This ongoing investment in staffing and learning reflects our commitment to high-quality, person-centred care for Sisters.

Parking

Ecological Planning

We confirmed plans to develop two surface parking projects for the Village as the need for parking continues to grow. A parking area south of Providence Care’s Providence Manor longterm care home will provide approximately 130 spaces for Providence Care staff and visitors. In addition, a public entrance will be created on the east side of Providence Motherhouse and an additional 142 parking spaces will be added to better serve subtenants and visitors.

We completed a draft Ecological Plan to guide long-term environmental protection and sustainable growth of Providence Village.

Community engagement and consultation is planned for 2026–27, including meaningful involvement of Indigenous communities. This plan will help preserve green space, support biodiversity, and protect and sustain the land for all our relations, now and for future generations.

Spotlight: Third Annual Founders Day Providence Village would not exist without the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul — the founders of the Village and the visionaries behind the collaborative community of care we are bringing to life.

On December 12, 2025, we celebrated our third annual Founders Day, an important tradition that honours the Sisters and their enduring legacy of compassionate care and service. Founders Day reminds us why Providence Village exists: to carry forward the mission the Sisters began in 1861, when four Sisters arrived in Kingston from Montreal to respond to the needs of the community.

During the celebration, we reflected on the history of the Providence Motherhouse property and the many ways it has served both the Sisters and the wider community since 1932. It has adapted to meet changing community needs, serving as a home for orphans, supporting Sisters’ entrepreneurial initiatives, housing a Catholic school and residents from Providence Manor, and even providing shelter for community members during the 1998 ice storm.

This spirit of adaptation continues today. In 2017, the Sisters began the most significant transformation of the property: the creation of Providence Village to ensure they could continue supporting and serving the community through the Village for generations to come.

13

Strategic Priority #3: Build and Position the Providence Village Brand This strategic priority focuses on strengthening the Providence Village brand and increasing awareness and understanding of the Village. It also focuses on enhancing the onsite experience for everyone who comes to the Village by creating a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment.

Market Research

Community Engagement

We engaged in market research to better understand brand awareness, perception, and partner decision-making factors. Key findings helped inform our approach to communications and engagement so that we could maximize our impact and establish and deepen relationships with new and existing partners.

Over the past year, we continued engaging with the community to build awareness and understanding of Providence Village, how it is evolving, and how it supports community wellbeing. We welcomed students from St. Lawrence College to learn about the Village model, participated in housing forums to discuss housing opportunities at the Village, and shared our work in truth and reconciliation through community events and presentations. We also remained active in community groups and collaborative tables, including Sustainable Kingston and the Indigenous Health and Wellness Council.

Brand Extension and Positioning You may notice our refreshed brand throughout this annual report. Providence Village has grown and evolved significantly in recent years— expanding in scope, partnerships, and strategic direction—and required a refreshed brand to better align with our renewed vision, mission, values, and future direction. Our updated brand will strengthen awareness and understanding of Providence Village, support deeper engagement, and help us continue growing our community of care.

Subtenant Partnership Table Providence Village continues to grow beyond a traditional landlord-tenant relationship toward a collaborative model built on partnership and shared impact. A key part of this approach is the Subtenant Partnership Table, which supports communication, coordination, and collaboration among organizations across the Village. We held quarterly meetings with representatives from all subtenant organizations and continued to share regular updates about Village operations and initiatives.

Reconciliation Action Plan Advancing truth and reconciliation is a priority for the Village, and an important part of ensuring we are building a welcoming, inclusive, and culturally safe community of care. Since launching our Reconciliation Action Plan in March 2025, we have continued to advance our work and actions through learning and education, relationship-building and community partnerships. We are grateful to the Indigenous partners and community members who continue to share their knowledge, guidance, and lived and living experiences with us as we continue to learn and grow.

Education and Awareness

Strategic Priority #4: Strengthen governance for collaboration This strategic priority focuses on strengthening the Village’s governance framework to ensure responsible oversight, effective decision-making, and long-term sustainability. This includes ongoing policy development, risk management, relationship-building, and the Board’s ongoing leadership on key priorities such as environmental sustainability, responsible land stewardship, equity, diversity, inclusion, belonging, accessibility, and reconciliation.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Mission Stewardship and Leadership

Our Board of Directors developed a formal Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility Statement to reaffirm the organization’s commitment to building a welcoming, inclusive, and accessible community for all. Grounded in our core values of compassion, integrity, inclusion, stewardship, and collaboration, the statement helps ensure these principles continue to guide decision-making, relationships, and leadership across the Village.

Throughout the year, Providence Village’s mission, vision, and values continued to guide decision-making, strategic planning, partnerships, and organizational priorities across the Village. The Board of Directors, including a Catholic Health Sponsors of Ontario Designate Member, provided ongoing mission-focused leadership and oversight to help maintain a strong connection to our Catholic sponsorship and ensure the Village continues to grow in ways that reflect our mission, values, and commitment to supporting the community.

Indigenous Relations The Board also developed a formal Indigenous Relations Statement to reaffirm Providence Village’s commitment to advancing truth and reconciliation and strengthening relationships with Indigenous communities and partners. The statement reflects our commitment to ensuring Indigenous voices and perspectives are respected, valued, and meaningfully included in helping shape the Village.

Risk Management Providence Village developed a Risk Management Framework to help identify, assess, and address potential risks across the organization and Village operations. The framework supports responsible decisionmaking, strong stewardship of resources, regulatory compliance, and our ability to respond and adapt effectively to changing circumstances.

“Each communication I receive from Providence Village leaves me feeling more encouraged, enthused, uplifted, and hopeful that, in one of my favorite places in creation–Kingston–they are building and realizing a vision for the model of a compassionate, supportive community. Collaborative planning among missiondriven organizations, which honors the unique history, strength, perspective, service design and voice of each participating agency, is not only a model for impactful, inclusive, successful social service communities, but for the entire world! Thank you for carrying the vision forward, for enhancing it, refining it, and believing in it for all of us who have witnessed the power of compassion and kindness!”
