Scope and content
This series is comprised of Board of Directors minutes. Several Sisters of St. Joseph made up the board, along with community members and professionals. All of the actions and decisions the board took were based on the needs of the emotionally disturbed children. These documents chronicle the transition from orphanage to residential treatment centre. Topics discussed at board meetings included physical changes to the building, by-laws and policies, budgets, and the education and welfare of the children.Several committees were spearheaded by the board. The Childcare Committee was established to assist with the admittance, treatment, and care of the children. A report produced by this committee entitled, “Care and Treatment of Emotionally Disturbed Children” outlines and compares the needs of the centre with those of two similar institutions. It also includes information on residence capacity and wait lists. The Personnel Committee created policies and procedures for staff and volunteers, and material from this committee includes information about financial support for staff credit courses, representation at conferences, and salary schedules. The Committee on the Use of Mount St. Joseph began in 1976, when the board began to look for another site for the Centre. Several ideas were discussed, including a pastoral care centre and a senior’s day centre. The documents in this file outline the different ideas expressed for the use of the space.
