Hello all. This is a fairly new organization here in Ottawa but timely.
It says Ottawa Chapter -- but I can't find any other chapters so it
seems to be Ottawa-based for now.
I thought that some of you who are looking for models to replace
defunded CAP programs might get some ideas from what is happening here.
I would also like to know if there are similiar programs in your
communities. There might be some benefit in mutual cooperation -- or at
least awareness.
