About this organization
In 1957, a group of local Boissevain area citizens and parents of children with intellectual disabilities, identified the need to create a support program for children and citizens in Southwestern Manitoba, living with intellectual disabilities. This initial effort resulted in the creation of the Sunnyside School.
In 1968, the purchase of a large home on Cook Street in Boissevain, saw the beginning of the Residential Program in Boissevain.
In 1988, a new building was built to house a woodworking program, activity center, and offices.
Eventually, the push for more community-based employment and programming saw the need to rethink The Hand Crafter, and by 2007, an agency-wide restructuring was taken on.
