Our History
Parents’ Place was founded in 1993 by a group of dedicated individuals with a shared vision: to establish a Family Resource Centre in Yarmouth, NS. This was made possible through the funding of the Health Canada Community Action Program.
​
In 1998, Parents’ Place relocated to their current location on Barnard St, to a home-style center to provide our clients with a sense of comfort and security when coming through our doors.
​
In 2003, funding was received from the Nova Scotia Department of Community Services which allowed us to start providing various programs in our facility.
​
Since then, Parents’ Place continues to evolve in order to better suit the needs of the current community.
