Saskatoon Mothers’ Centre


ATTENTION EMPLOYMENT SERVICE FOR PARENTS Clients
 

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Saskatoon Mothers’ Centre* in its new space on the 2nd floor of Station 20 West.  This service invites women (i.e. parent job seekers) and their children to their drop-in sessions every Tuesday and Wednesday morning from 9:30-12:00 pm and every Thursday and Friday afternoon from 1:00-4:00 pm.  They ask you to join them in their new home…they say we would love to hear your thoughts on what we can offer the community.

*A Mothers’ Centre is a “public living room” where women, mothers, aunts, and grandmothers can meet on a regular basis to support one another. It provides a space for healing, respect and compassion.  Mothers’ Centre’s offer the opportunity for women to connect with their community and to build upon their leadership skills; children also have the opportunity to socialize with new friends in a relaxed and friendly environment.
