Much more than a Café

Welcome to The Second Chance Café, a heartwarming initiative led by The Cridge Brain Injury Services, nestled within the Cedar Hill Recreation Centre and supported in partnership with Saanich Parks and Recreation. This social enterprise is managed and staffed entirely by survivors of brain injury, providing a unique opportunity to rebuild their lives.

Our dedicated team crafts delicious meals but also expands their skill sets through specialized training. This empowering experience serves as a stepping stone to reintegrate into the workplace a supportive environment that fosters growth and healing.

Join us in championing this inspiring mission, where every cup of coffee and cookie helps transform lives. Be part of a community that believes in second chances. 

The Second Chance Café is open weekdays from 9am to 3pm. Currently closed for summer 2025 due to renovations at Cedar Hill Rec Centre. We look forward to pouring you a cup coffee in September!
