About Us

Our History
 

 
Kairos Community Resource Centre was incorporated in 1975 to provide residential justice services to adult offenders.  In 1987, with the inception and implementation of the Young Offenders Act (YOA), Kairos transitioned it services, operating a 12 bed open custody facility for male and female youth between the ages of 16 and 17 under the Ministry of Corrections.
 
In 2003 the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) replaced the Young Offenders Act. And the same year, the Ministry of Children and Youth Services was created to provide an integrated system of services to better serve children, youth and their families, including youth justice services.

Kairos currently operates an eight bed male facility for youth 12-17 years of age under the Ministry of Children and Youth Services and in accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA).
