So very grateful to the Rogers family for their commitment to vulnerable children and youth.

We are most grateful to receive an extraordinary gift of $500,000 from the Rogers Family. #BoostCYAC would not exist the way it does today or be in a strong position to provide the services required when the current health crisis passes without the support of the Rogers family.

"We don't allow children to drink until a certain age. We don't allow them to drive... Yet nude images of them all over the internet are allowed to sit up and stay online. We've completely lost our way and we need to step in and start doing more." cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/…
