Canada's First 2SLGBTQ+ Addiction Treat Facility
In the next year ALONE over two thousand 2SLGBTQ+ people will die if nothing changes.
Founders Steven Archambault and Brittney Sawyer in collaboration with their champion Dr. John Rook and the team at Simon House, are creating Stonewall Recovery to fill a need that is LONG OVERDUE.

On March 10, 2023, Stonewall Recovery held their inaugural Bricks & Mortar Gala, a night filled with laughter, tears, dancing, performances, art & awards….it was a night of celebration!
This evening brought people together to both celebrate the community who inspired and created change and to raise money in support of Stonewall Recovery.
Kendall Gender gave a remarkable speech followed by an outstanding performance. D.J Birthday Girl had everyone on the floor dancing and Emmett Michael brought the whole room to silence and tears with his powerful performance lit by candles.
Stonewall Recovery will also be a hub within the 2SLGBTQ+ community with organizations uniting in the common goals of saving lives and providing lifelong support. When someone comes into Stonewall Recovery, they will leave with the support to set them up for success.
Congratulations to Steven Archambault and Brittney Sawyer for your amazing success on your first Brick and Mortar Gala. Thank you for ALL you are DOING to CREATE CHANGE!
Stonewall Recovery Centre is about having a safe place for 2SLGBTQ+ people to recover from addiction.
Due to a lack of acceptance, these youth are considered both runaways and throw-aways by their families or communities.
It is time that we do something about this disparity in our society.
Thank you Stonewall Recovery.
