As many of you may know from watching the news, the Provincial IDP's contract was not renewed this September, and the Provincial office will be officially closed December 31, 2009.
DDA had the very first IDP and this was started in 1972. It went provincial in 1975. The IDP has gone on to serve more than 6000 families.
