Sky plays an incredible role in supporting children and youth during some of the most difficult times in their lives. As a facility dog, LFCDG Sky provides comfort and emotional support during forensic interviews, court preparation, and court support. Her calming presence helps reduce anxiety and creates a sense of safety, allowing young people to share their stories and begin their healing journey.

Important update: Rethinking Justice for Survivors of Sexual Violence

On 19 November 2025, the Federal Ombudsperson released a major systemic investigation report highlighting the experiences of survivors of sexual violence within Canada’s criminal-justice system.
Canada

This report:
- lifts up the voices of survivors and victims who shared their stories over an 18-month process.
- looks across 10 key themes, from reporting to police and investigations, to trial fairness and access to therapeutic records.
- includes recommendations and calls to reform how services, supports and accountability are delivered for survivors.

At Caribou Centre, we stand with survivors and welcome this important work. We believe in fair, compassionate responses, better access to support services, and stronger systems that respect dignity and choice.

We encourage our community to read or share the executive summary and chapter-infographics to learn how we can support meaningful change together.

Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and free from harm. If you suspect abuse, taking action can change a child’s life.

How to Report Abuse in Alberta:

If a child is in immediate danger, call 911
If a child discloses abuse, call your local police non-emergency line
If you suspect abuse in the home, call the Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-387-5437 (KIDS)

Reporting is not just the right thing to do—it’s your legal responsibility. Together, we can be the voice that protects children and prevents abuse.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Grande Prairie?

Improving coping strategies, fostering resiliency, and processing trauma for children and youth.

The Caribou Child & Youth Centre is a child advocacy centre that serves children and youth (under 18) who have experienced sexual,physical, or psychological abuse, exploitation, and/or neglect. We also work with those who have witnessed other types of trauma or violence.

We have a committed, comprehensive multidisciplinary team that works together to provide the best possible services for children and their families. Intervention and treatment in child abuse cases is strengthened when agencies work toward common goals, which include support services for the child, and holding offenders accountable. Our team consists of: RCMP, Child Family Services, Pace, Victim Services, as well as Crown Prosecution.

The Caribou Centre was designed to provide a safe and comfortable environment where children could disclose abuse, thus, reducing the trauma and anxiety for these young people. The centre seeks to provide children and their families with one single point of contact to assist them throughout the process; from in initial disclosure, through investigation, court proceedings, and any ongoing support or therapeutic treatment that is necessary. Our goal is to ensure that children are not re-victimized by the very systems designed to protect them.
