Knowles Centre Incorporates Truth and Reconciliation
January 10, 2024
The grassroots, non-profit Knowles Centre has worked to help children and young adults through a variety of programs and services for over 100 years. Launched as a home for boys in 1907, the centre has developed and shifted to further how it can benefit those in need of its services.
Going into 2024, the Knowles Centre intends to refocus its programming around the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's calls to action and Bill C-92 - An Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families - which was enacted by the federal government in 2019 to recognize the jurisdiction of Indigenous peoples in youth and family services.
Knowles Centre CEO Mia Guenther said the prospect of the renewed focus is very exciting.
