During a mental health crisis, every minute matters – and too often, there’s nowhere to turn.
In Spring 2026, The Royal will open an Urgent Care Clinic for mental illness and addiction – offering same-day care, crisis counselling, addiction support, and clear paths forward – without long waits, referrals, or judgment.
This life-changing and critical step forward for our community is only possible because of generous supporters like you. And right now, every donation made before December 31 will be matched dollar for dollar up to $100,000 – thanks to the Robert Campeau Family Foundation.
