Child and Family Services may cut services next year
Lack of funds may force the agency founded as the Children's Aid Society to reduce programs in the coming year. Nicole Lebeau-Pringle notes that without a donations surge this year, essential preventive services for Western Manitoba families could be scaled back. Fall fund-raising will target residents by letter, ads, and door canvassing. Last year’s rural drive nearly matched the 1984-85 record of over $40,000.
