The province is providing more than $500,000 to three programs focused on keeping families together.

The funds include $200,000 for Acorn Family Place’s WrapAround program, $183,000 for Blue Thunderbird Family Care’s grandmother’s council program and $150,000 for the Islamic Social Services Association to hire a social worker and counsellor.

“Our government is committed to supporting programs that strengthen family ties and keep children out of the child welfare system whenever possible,” Families Minister Nahanni Fontaine said in a news release Monday.
