Jasper Place Family Resource Centre
Jasper Place Family Resource Centre is a Registered Not-For-Profit organization to promote young children’s healthy growth and development, and to enhance family wellness.
In 1984, KARA Family Resource Centre was formed by a group of representatives from 16 community organizations seeking a way for community members to provide positive support and resources for families. KARA effectively opened its doors January 1st, 1985 and has been offering parenting programs, services and support to families ever since.
KARA’s original focus was on low income, single mothers but has since evolved to providing a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for clients of all socio-economic backgrounds and family structure. At KARA, we build meaningful relationships with clients, “meeting them where they are at” in their current life and family circumstance, offering parenting education, family support, early childhood developmental screening, and information and referral services. KARA strives to create safe and inclusive experiences that support clients in their parenting and family life.
