It was a banner Wednesday in the town of Wilkie as a new Prairie Branches group home celebrated its grand opening with five people with intellectual disabilities moving in. The Saskatchewan Government is providing over $295,000 annually to Prairie Branches to operate the group home. The new group home supports the Saskatchewan Disability Strategy by creating more residential services for people with intellectual disabilities. Prairie Branches supports 31 people living in their group homes, 14 people in their supported living program and 48 in day programs in the communities of Wilkie, Unity, Biggar and Kerrobert.
