CLIENT SHOOTS: Opening of Second Stage Housing Program at 'My Sister's Place'

Last week I headed up to Alliston for the Grand Opening of the Second Stage Housing Program at 'My Sister's Place'.

Not too long before I left home, it was POURING rain! This event was happening outdoors, so I was really hoping the rain would pass over before the start. And it did! :)

Here is an excerpt from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) News Release:

"ALLISTON, ON, October 14, 2011 — The Government of Canada, through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and People in Transition (Alliston) Inc., My Sister’s Place, celebrated the grand opening of five new second-stage housing units for women and children who are victims of family violence in Alliston and the surrounding area.
