Key Industries is hoping Quispamsis Council can spare $5,000 in their 2013 budget for the social development group.
For almost 40 years Key Industries has been providing services to adults with intellectual disabilities. President and CEO Christine Evans tells CHSJ news the money would expand their existing programs and help with outreach projects like employ-ability. She says their employ-ability work skills program gives extra support to people who want to work in the community.
Evans says they do receive some government funding, but it’s not enough for their needs. She says to date the town of Quispmasis has been excellent, giving $15,000 to the group over the years.
Quispamsis Council has refereed the request to their finance committee.
