The Manitoba Home Care Program, established in September 1974, is the oldest, most comprehensive, province-wide, universal home care program in Canada. Home Care is provided to Manitobans of all ages based on assessed need and taking into account other resources available to the individual including families, community resources and other programs.The Home Care program was established to help people live at home, remaining independent for as long as possible, thereby avoiding or delaying the need for individuals to go into long term care facilities.
Strengthening Families Through Engagement and CollaborationMCFCS is committed to empowering families and the community to share the responsibility for protecting our children and youth. We are committed to ensuring that all children and youth receive safe and nurturing care that will enhance their development and well-being.We believe that children are best served within their own family and that parents strive to provide the best possible care to their children. All families have inner strengths and resiliency. We recognize that life circumstances and challenges can impact on family functioning and interfere with parents' abilities to meet the needs of their children in the way they hoped. It is at these times that the MCFCS Agency and the community must get involved to support families.MCFCS recognizes that being involved with child and family services is stressful and for many families involuntary. We have worked hard to modify our approach and how families experience our agency, so that despite the involuntary nature of our services, families feel respected, empowered and supported.Be a foster paren
When two chefs decided to open their own casual French bistro on Main Street in this little mill town, people were a bit surprised.Lee has, however, such a great diversity of people and culinary choices, we were sure it would work out. Years of training in French fine dining made us long to have a place of our own, 'chez nous,' to cook our favorite things in an atmosphere where people could really relax and enjoy.Franck Tessier and Rachel PortnoyWe first met in 1997 while Franck was working in his first post as Executive Chef at The Point, in Saranac Lake, NY. Franck had left behind his native France a few years before to work in London at the renowned two-Michelin starred restaurant, Le Gavroche. After three years working his way up through the ranks, he was sent to The Point, a Relais & Chateau property for whom Le Gavroche consulted. When I sent my resume to The Point to apply for the Pastry Chef position, unbeknownst to us, our partnership began.
