Association of Saskatchewan Realtors supports young Regina families with grant

Members of the Association of Saskatchewan Realtors (ASR) recently toured the Mackenzie Infant Care Centre (MICC) to see how a $5,000 grant is helping to improve lives of young mothers and their children. The grant, provided by the ASR Quality of Life Legacy Fund, has been allocated to the Mother and Baby Literacy Program, which provides books to young mothers, providing an opportunity for bonding with their children and enhancing literacy.

Chris Guérette, ASR COO says, “No matter how you come into this world, reading is a precious gift every baby and child should receive. It’s amazing to see how the Mackenzie Infant Care Centre is making a difference in the lives of the people it serves through this and other initiatives.”

Lane Boghean, an ASR board member says, “It’s certainly not your typical classroom, with strollers parked outside the door and daycare down the hall. But you can tell there’s a level of comfort for these young mothers, knowing they are leaving their children in a caring place – that’s one less worry for them while they’re in class.”
