​

Community Inclusion is a big part of what we do and the programs we have offered directly in the communities that we serve have been incredibly successful, with many positive outcomes. With this in mind, we made the decision in September 2017 to sell the Learning & Resource Centre. This decision was not made lightly and was based on a number of factors resulting from feedback and consultation with Precious Minds' Families, Staff, and Board of Directors. We are truly grateful to all those individuals and organizations who made the Centre such a welcoming place of fun, learning, and inclusion. We are excited about this new chapter in the history of Precious Minds and the opportunity to offer meaningful programming in North Durham communities.
