Wilma's Place is not only Cathedral's Alternative Education, it is also a second home to many of the students. Wilma's provides a safe, secure environment, offering services such as a food bank, a lunch program, laundry services, counselling and other opportunities that allow these students who were believed to become nothing, excel and do the exact opposite. Removing the program from the current location and placing it in an elementary school that fails to provide etiquette services is like ripping this second chance away from individuals who need it the most. The Family Community that has built up through out the years surrounding Wilma's Place will not stand by and quietly watch! Please sign the petition to help keep Wilma's Place in it's rightful spot!

The momentum is undeniable now. Cathedral is finally taking notice of what we built.

The lunch program and counseling are lifesavers. Elementary schools arent set up for this. Leave them alone.

MY SON WENT HERE AND IT CHANGED EVERYTHING. DO NOT MOVE THIS PROGRAM UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE THESE KIDS FAIL.

This makes no sense. The community here is real. Stop taking away support services from students who are already struggling.

This place saved my life when high school was impossible for me. You guys cant just close it down. These kids have nowhere else to go.

Total garbage move by the board. Wilma's is the only reason some of these kids even show up to class. Quit cutting corners on the kids who need help most.
