Pregnancy Support Services of the Upper Ottawa Valley is receiving $8,600 to purchase office and computer equipment.
This is to better equip the organization to serve pregnant teens in need of support services in the Upper Ottawa Valley.
Pregnancy Support Services does not appear to have a website (maybe they learned a lesson from First Place Pregnancy Centre in Ottawa), but I found this listing . (bold mine; I also corrected a couple of typos, you're welcome)
Mission Statement: We are a mental health organizationfounded on a Christian medical model who promotes informed choice, with follow up counseling being of uppermost importance, so women and men, can move forward after an unplanned pregnancy, or pregnancy loss, to live healthy positive lives in our community. We also have Post Abortion Recovery Education Groups available for women who are experiencing regret and feelings of loss. We train volunteers to walk with these women, shoulder to shoulder, on this healing journey. I received this training and the ability to train other facilitators in Greenville, South Carolina. Our service encompasses all of the county, and is free and confidential.
Such a center as this is a relatively new idea in this area, but PSS centers are operating through out Ontario, and other parts of Canada and the United States, for over 30 years.Check them out at www.capss.com and www.care-net.org you will see a picture of me for our center. WOW ! exciting huh!!!
We do not receive government funding and therefore we depend on the generosity of the community, to commit to donating time as volunteers. If this something that interests you contact us to enrole in out 21hour training. This training is open to the public as a personal interest course. this training is valuable and can be used in any crisis situation. Give us a call or visit the center, on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 12-4 PM, and Thursday evening till 6 pm.
Woo-eee. See all that zygote zealot code-speak?
Sound to me like one of those Crisis Pregnancy Centers, which in the US have been determined to offer 87% lies.
(Here are the links if you want to check out Canadian Association of Pregnancy Support Services and Care Net.)
Mental health organization? Since when is pregnancy a 'mental health' issue? According to fetus fetishists, it's only after one has an abortion that one goes totally bonkers.
Christian medical model? WTF is that?
Informed choice? Informed by lying bullshit like abortion causes breast cancer and inevitable mental problems?
Post Abortion Recovery Education Groups? OK, that completely outs this outfit.
It is a Crisis Pregnancy Centre.
Funded by The Trillium Foundation, the arm of the government that doles out some of the profits from the government-run numbers racket to 'community groups'.

I am going to write to the foundation to ask about this grant. I'll let you know what happens next.

Good catch!
Their website says "We do not receive government funding" which I guess might be almost sort-of true if a one-time "grant" isn't considered quite the same as ongoing "funding". (Or if they're running true to form, they're lying.)
Whatever: I think these nitwits should get their computers with their own money.
"Our Mission
We believe that human beings are made in the image of God; therefore all humankind has intrinsic value and significance from conception to natural death."
"CAPSS is a member of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada"
Okey dokey
Good catch fern. Damn that's disgusting but not surprising. In recent years, I have seen lots of public tax payer money going to evangelical groups. Much like the US approach to social services (faith based initiative).
As biased as this article may be,
it's only to be expected from left-wing leaning supporters, who feel the need to use the same propoganda that they condemn others for.
You may disagree with a view, and ultimately not support it - but the reality is that many "non-right wing" and "non-Christian" causes are supported by taxpayer funded initatives, yet I don't see you bashing them?
It's this intolerance that is furthering the great social divide in Canada, one that is further taking away from Canada's identity as a nation that embraces and supports diversity of thought, culture and belief syste,.
Anonymous: You must have missed the part about the lying. Crisis Pregnancy Centres lie to women. They manipulate women. They try to scare women. Click on some links and learn something.
