Jubilation Residential Centres Inc., also known
as Jubilation Program, was incorporated as a non-profit, charitable
organization under the laws of the Province of Saskatchewan on September
21st, 1990, and received charitable status from Revenue
Canada-Charities Division on January 28th, 1991. The charity's
business and charitable number is 13255 2274 RR0001.
Officially started in the early 90's, for about
the initial 4 years, Jubilation Program operated a residential centre for
pregnant teens/adolescents and young single moms with children. The house
operated without any governmental financing for the initial 4 years and
was closed due to financial pressures.
The Board of Directors decided to continue on
an "outpatient" basis with the services described below.
Within the last decade, while still continuing
to serve young pregnant women, young parents and children, the
organization has started to design and deliver highly specialized programs
to various target groups within its own clientele :
-
