Grace Haven Calls for Level Playing Field for Fund

Grace Haven is asking the City of Dryden to help them lobby the Province to fix the funding formula for Community Care Centres.
The Province only funds 40% of Grace Haven’s Adult Day Programs, while similar ones in the Northwest are paid for in full.
Spokesperson Liz Schmidt says they want answers from the Ministry of Health and a level playing field.
Schmidt says they have to come up with $54,000 annually to run 3 day programs at the Centre and 1 at Patricia Gardens.
Meantime, Grace Haven has launched its Festival of Trees campaign and has asked Council for $1,000.
City Staff will review each request.
