“The staff and students really become like family. My son always looked forward to his days at Haney, and the only regret I have is not discovering it sooner.”
“Haney Centre facilitates the development of students as contributing citizens within our communities. Students who attend this unique learning facility gain real life meaningful domestic skills and experiential learning opportunities that as a teacher, my Secondary School program cannot replicate.”
“Our son needed a special program to prepare him for life after school. A small, but intense program that would focus on future living responsibilities and possibilities, that would help him strengthen his independence, life, employability and social skills. Haney Centre was our answer.”
