The Manitoba Government is terminating its agreement with a Brandon company to provide housing for youth in care, saying a third-party report led to an investigation that discovered significant financial deficiencies.
Brightscape Endeavours agreement will end on June 18, according to a Manitoba Families spokesperson in an email to the Sun. The children in the case of the company will be transitioned elsewhere by the time the deadline arrives.
A report by the CBC said that the organization has 27 youth in care at 14 homes in the Brandon area. The results found significant deficiencies in the company’s financial management and accounting policy and procedures, the Manitoba Families spokesperson said in the email. These findings are contrary to the Province’s responsibility to ensure that service providers demonstrate financial stability and sustainability.
