Northern Alberta: Sucker Creek Women's Shelter

Sucker Creek Women's Shelter: It's knowing that we have done something positive out there and we have made a difference in the families we work with, said Darlene Lightning-Mattson, executive director of the Sucker Creek Women's Shelter in northern Alberta, according to CBC. Five shelters participated in the project, which employed an outreach worker to follow up with the children of women who have reported domestic problems to shelter staff and A program on Albertas reserves which aims to help those hurt by family violence is showing strong results, advocates say. Walking the Path Together gives one-on-one help to children whose mothers have visited womens shelters on First Nations reserves. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
