More of the same. Many most vulnerable parents/kids, as well as “normal” average families, benefitted greatly from the programs these places have to offer. The place and staff in Peace River are really great. Hopefully, they will figure something out.

Edit:

While this is OK because it’s just ”hospitality” and “building relationships”:

I'm hoping that they get funding secured somehow. If I'm reading this correctly it seems as though they will have to reapply for funding with the province but changes such as a reduction in services may happen. As a single dad who used parent link plenty in the last 3 years this would be a huge blow to the community if we lost our parent link center. For the truly low income families it would affect them even more, one less support for them. At one point do they UPC realize that creating efficiencies is not as simple as threatening to pull funding for social services?
