C.A.S. Funding Update

Family and Children Services Rainy River and Wee-chi-ti-win Family Services will receive a share of the nearly $27-million the province is providing in one-time funding to cash strapped children's aid societies.

The Rainy River agency was informed it will receive $430-thousand while Wee-chi-ti-win will get about $940-thousand.

Both agencies had forecast operating shortfalls for this year after the government clawed back some its funding last year.

Director of Administration for Wee-chi-ti-win Debbie Leonard says they welcome the money. but its too early to determine if the funding will reverse any decisions made earlier to help offset the shortfall.
