The non-profit organization has been providing free or low-cost programming to members of the community, assisting with family support. Stephanie Barnes has been the program co-ordinator since last September, but she was far from a stranger to the family centre’s programs when she took the job. She was a board member for two years, and she started taking her kids to the centre when her family moved to Oxbow four years ago. “It’s a place where parents can bring their kids. It’s a place where you can come and feel welcome if you’re having a good day or a bad day. It’s a good place to meet people. It’s just a good place to interact. It helps prepare you, give ideas for parenting or schooling, or other things to do with kids,” said Barnes.
I am currently a Grade 12 student at Oxbow Prairie Horizons School. I take pride in being an active student. I am a leader of the Student Representative Council and Students Against Impaired Driving. Before the pandemic, I ran cross-country and track and field. I have competed at the provincial level in both. I consider myself to be the result of a collective upbringing. I’ve had the privilege of growing up on a grain farm south of Glen Ewen with my family. I have also been fortunate enough to travel throughout my childhood. Consequently, I feel I’ve developed a rich curiosity for the world around me, both locally and abroad. I have a passion for local agriculture and industry, along with international issues.
