In 1815 the Female Benevolent Society was founded to aid indigent women with small children, the sick, the aged and the infirm. Until its founding the only sources of relief for the poor and the sick were the Hotel Dieu, the convents and the bread lines of the Gentlemen of the Seminary. The name of the society was later changed to the Montreal Ladies Benevolent Society. In 1817 the society bought a house in Recollet Suburb and called it the House of Recovery. In time the work of the Society led to the establishment of the Montreal General Hospital.
In 1822 the Montreal Ladies Benevolent Society was temporarily dissolved due to financial difficulties. Orphans who had previously been cared for the society were cared for over several months by English Scottish Church parishes. Later that year, 1822, the Protestant Orphan Asylum was established to care for the displaced orphans. In 1832 the Montreal Ladies Benevolent Society was re-established. After holding a public meeting in May 1856, The House of Industry and Refuge requested the Ladies Benevolent Society to take over the residents of their institution as it was about to be closed due to lack of funds. The House of Refuge was amalgamated with the Montreal Ladies Benevolent Society in 1868.
In 1947 the Montreal Ladies Benevolent Society and the Montreal Protestant Orphans' Home merged to form the Montreal Ladies Benevolent and Protestant Orphans Society; in 1962, the society was dissolved. At the request of the Board of Directors a survey of the agency and the total situation in the Protestant Child Welfare field of Montreal was carried out by the Child Welfare League of America. In 1963 the Board of Directors adopted one of the league's recommendations, namely to develop a number of group homes for children who needed to live away from their homes but would not be suited to foster care. In 1970 the former society became Summerhill Homes Inc. In 1977 Youth Horizons was formed.Information additionnelle :Note générale :Received in 1983 from Mr. W.W.
