Highly recommended!
There is a spot in downtown North Bay, called Nick’s Place for Us. Karrie Emms is an amazing woman who has opened Nick’s Place for Us as a FREE spot for children to go and express their artistic abilities. It has become a truly amazing spot for 2 of my youth to go on Thursdays. She provides dinner, crafts, open art abilities, and so much more.
This is exactly what North Bay needs, more FREE safe spaces for our children and community. There are so many other non-profit organization spaces that get donation after donation both monetary and supplies. All the while this space is left behind and is looking at closing the doors if there isn’t a miracle to happen.
I think that the community is so beautiful every time it comes together when one of our own needs help – and this wonderful woman needs our support now more than ever. A go fund me page has been set up Go Fund Me link to help

Acceptance, Care & Value
this center is a place where all youth and their families are accepted, cared about, heard and valued. Nick’s Place For Us has become a part of our family and watching it grow through the leadership of Karrie and Dani Lynn has been amazing. This is a center that is truly making a difference in the lives of the children and one where the creators truly care about the kids and develop programs based on what they need in order to thrive.
They are selfless in their pursuit to create the center and can often be found running the events, cleaning, renovating and planning 24 hours a day without much of a break.
These two also run another business and have chosen to support downtown North Bay which is in and of itself, selfless.
