It is crucial to give back to the community.
That is why we are donating to the Toba Centre for Children & Youth. Toba Centre for Children & Youth (formerly Snowflake Place) opened in 2013, offering this safe, neutral, family-friendly setting and in 2015, two forensic interviewers began conducting interviews of children and youth.
Toba Centre for Children & Youth
In 2007 the Province of Manitoba announced a commitment to bring child advocacy centres to Manitoba as part of Tracia’s Trust: Phase 2 of Manitoba’s Sexual Exploitation Strategy. The first phase of developing Manitoba’s centre included creating a space for child victims and their parents/caregivers, including a child-friendly interview room, family room, and waiting room, as well as an independent, highly trained forensic interviewer.
Toba Centre for Children & Youth (formerly Snowflake Place) opened in 2013, offering this safe, neutral, family-friendly setting and in 2015, two forensic interviewers began conducting interviews of children and youth.
Since that time, we have conducted over 2,100 interviews and been witness to the challenges that children and families face when attempting to navigate the systems responding to child abuse. It is our goal to evolve our centre into a fully functioning child advocacy centre for Manitoba.
