Charlford House Society For Women, Burnaby, BC

I do NOT Recommend this place. The website a complete LIE. They have no programs except taking buses and skytrains in the evening. No speakers or extracurricular activities, unless you call walking at 6am to a pond once a week an extracurricular activity. The director yells at people every morning, and you have the same chore for months. Some people are given easy chores that take them 1/2 hour a day, while others do chores for 2 hours a day. They have welfare people that only pay $700 a month, but if your employer pays, it's $6000 a month. There are no special speakers, no activities, angry people that run the place, and as punishment, they will partner you with volatile people, as you NEED to share a room with someone you don't know, who probably was given the option of jail or rehab. I DO NOT Recommend this place in any way, shape or form, unless your options are jail or rehab. Their website does not allow you to post reviews and is completely inaccurate. This place is a legal scam that takes money from the government, benefit providers, and people. They offer nothing considering that they take in about 30,000 a month. There is no hot water for showers as they have removed the hot water taps, mold in some of the rooms, and a hostile director. They use stock photos to advertise and entice women.
