NORTH BATTLEFORD — A major renovation of Battlefords Residential Services Inc.’s (BRSI) day program building has officially opened.

The Ministry of Social Services provided $110,000 in capital funding for the renovation. The ministry also provides more than $295,000 annually for the operating costs of the day program. 

Battlefords Residential Services Inc. is a community-based organization that has been supporting people with disabilities since 1986. The 10-space day program provides support to 10 people with intellectual disabilities. 

"The renovations to the BRSI Day program include an open concept, a renovated kitchen and spacious bathrooms," BRSI Executive Director Trudy Kern said.

"This renovation provides a great space for the participants from our group homes to develop to their full potential, create friendships and allow staff to assist them with ease."

This day program renovation supports the Saskatchewan Disability Strategy by creating opportunities for inclusion.
