Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson apologizes for neglect, abuse and suffering of those who lived at Manitoba Developmental Centre
Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson has issued a formal apology in the legislature to former residents of a facility for people with intellectual disabilities.
She says there was a time when people were told the only thing to do was to place loved ones in large institutional facilities instead of living with their families or in the community. The $17-million settlement also includes a fund for former residents, a monument built at the centre’s cemetery and projects that help people with disabilities live in the community.
