We operate three shelters in the Greater Toronto Area that house 122 youth each night. Our shelters provide homeless youth with emergency and transitional housing, harm reduction services to address drug and alcohol use, counselling, employment and training programs, housing support and services to reconnect youth with their families. Each year we help over 2,300 homeless and at-risk youth to get off the street, find housing and community supports, and begin to rebuild their futures. New HorizonsArtwork by Rebecca Marsden

The music of The Nameless Faceless originated when Stevie and Shaun began experimenting with modern recording techniques and VSTinstruments to create traditional rock songs with a distinctive twist. With Stevie's emotional vocals and Shaun's collage of experimental instruments, the first Nameless Faceless album, Ribbon Blue, was born. Buzz around Ribbon Blue quickly led to requests for live shows, creating the need for more members to help bring this album to life. The addition of Jeremy and Steve morphed the sound of the band into something even more distinguishing, and has allowed the band to thrive on stage as much as on record.

The Nameless Faceless is a four-member band based out of Peterborough and Toronto, Ontario. Like any unique band their sound is hard to describe, but terms like folk-rock, neo-alternative rock and psychedelic blues have been used to describe the band. Classic influences such as Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Pink Floyd combine with more modern influences like Radiohead, Outkast, Smashing Pumpkins, and Wilco to help shape the sound of their songs.
