Nikan Awasisak Agency is hosting an open house this week.

 

The open house is free and open to the public, and provides an opportunity to community members who are interested in potentially being a foster parent or support worker.

 

Attendees will have a chance to meet Nikan staff, walk through the application process, and win some door prizes.

 

An alternative care worker for the agency, Jade Pierson, says there are currently 26 foster homes in Thompson with 29 children in care.

 

Nikan Awasisak Agency’s open house is this Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m.

 

Catch Thompson Today this afternoon at 12:40 and 5:10 to learn more.

 

EDIT: The number of foster families and children in care was corrected to reflect the statistics for the City of Thompson.
