The Manitoba Government is terminating its agreement with a Brandon company to provide housing for youth in care, saying a third-party report led to an investigation that discovered significant financial deficiencies.
Brightscape Endeavours’ agreement will end on June 18, a Manitoba Families spokesperson stated in an email to the Sun. The children in the care of the company will be transitioned elsewhere by the time the deadline arrives.
Brightscape CEO Jesse Dourado stated in an email that the company has just under 30 children in care at 14 homes in the Brandon area, of which 70 per cent are Indigenous, Black or people of colour.
