Our goal is to maintain a positive relationship with the families in our Centre. The Parent Policy has been designed to ensure that parents are provided with a clear understanding of the rights and responsibilities that exist between the parent and the Centre. We urge you to read the Policy carefully before registering your child and to ask questions of the Site Manager if you find anything unclear.

MP Glover Applauds Kenyan Association of Manitoba (KAM) - posted August 28

This month, I had the pleasure of attending a fundraiser put on by the Kenyan Association of Manitoba to raise funds for East Africa. I was so inspired by the leadership role this organization is taking. We cannot fail our brothers and sisters in East Africa, and I am so proud of KAM and all who joined them for doing what they can to help.

More than 12.4 million people are affected by drought throughout the Horn of Africa and tens of thousands of people have died. The UN has warned that severe famine will spread within two months if aid groups are not able to provide food and other lifesaving assistance to people inside Somalia.

Our Government, through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), is increasing its financial contribution by $50 million. This is in addition to the $22.35 million provided by CIDA earlier this year for humanitarian assistance in the region.

Now is the time to give! For every dollar an individual Canadian donates over a 10-week period (retroactive to July 6, 2011, and ending September 16, 2011) to a registered Canadian charity responding to the drought in East Africa, the Government will contribute an equivalent amount to the East Africa Drought Relief Fund.

To learn more about the situation in East Africa or to find a charity to donate to, please visit: http://www.acdi-cida.gc.ca/acdi-cida/acdi-cida.nsf/eng/ANN-72082543-GL5.
