- Vancouver - A half-way house for Indian and Metis former convicts has been awarded an $8,000 grant from the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund of the Anglican Church of Canada.
- The Rt. Rev. T.D. Somerville, Anglican Bishop of New Westminster, will make the presentation to the Allied Indian and Metis Society in Vancouver on April 13.
- The grant will be used to pay the salary of a counsellor for one year at the Society's newly-acquired residential centre, 2716 Clark Drive, Vancouver.
- Currently, five ex-inmates are living at the centre and participating in the Society's self-help adjustment program.
- The Indian and Metis Society was formed in 1970 by members of the Indian and Metis Educational Club at the B.C. Penitentiary. Their object was to form an all-Indian half-way house to help former inmates successfully resettle in their communities after serving prison terms.
- "They have gone to extraordinary efforts to bring in from the `outside' a group of interested citizens, mostly Indian, of all faiths, to form this Society," said AIMS recording secretary Mrs. G.L. Bursill-Hall.
- "We consider our half-way home unique in its conception, vigorous at birth, and we are optimistic for its future," she added.
- Sessions at the centre include personal management of finances, leadership training, Indian-culture education, personal problem-solving and group therapy.
- Most of the Society's directors are native Indians.
