Osborne House, a shelter for women and children who have been victims of domestic violence, has been renamed "Willow Place."
The organization, which operates a 45-bed shelter with counseling, advocacy and referral services in Winnipeg, assists more than 800 women and children fleeing domestic abuse per year.
Willow Place has a new community board, but many of the experienced staff from Osborne House remain, including seven MGEU members.
The former Osborne House MGEU Local 160 will become MGEU Local 160 – Willow Place, and successor rights are being respected so that members will remain covered by the existing contract.
