Year in Review
This year, we celebrate achieving Exemplary Status from Accreditation Canada and reflect upon how Grandview Kids helps children, youth, and families reach their full potential. The theme of our Strategic Plan, “Building on Excellence,” was exemplified through our programs, services, and partnerships in the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year. Look for stories from our families throughout this report to learn how Team Grandview has made a difference in the lives of the families we so proudly serve.
