The Government of Saskatchewan is committing $200,000 for construction of a new group home in Wilkie that will house five people with intellectual disabilities.
The home will be run by Prairie Branches which provides supportive living programs in the communities of Wilkie, Unity, Biggar and Kerrobert. The organizations currently supports 32 people in group homes, 14 in their supportive living program, 55 in day programs and 30 in vocational settings.
Prairie Branches Executive Director Eunice Washkowsky thanks the provincial government, the Saskatchewan Association of Rehabilitation Centres and the Town of Wilkie for their support.
