OUR HISTORY
During the years of 1985-1986, concerned individuals within the city of Moncton and surrounding communities, came together to consider the foundation of a pregnancy centre to serve women facing unexpected pregnancy needs. They came from all walks of life- pastors, medical professionals, accountants, teachers, housewives, seniors - all with a passion to see the development of an organization that would minister to the specific needs of pregnant women. Their desire was to found a not- for-profit organization, with a faith-based foundation.
On November 7, 1986 the Moncton Crisis Pregnancy Centre, Inc. was granted a letter of patent and opening date was in 1987. After renting several locations throughout the city of Moncton, continued growth enabled the organization to purchase our present location at 27 John Street, purchased on September 1996.
On May 5, 2005, application was made to operate under the trade name of Pregnancy Resource Centre of Moncton. With continued growth and the addition of the healthcare facility offering specific care in 2016, the decision was made to discontinue both previous names and October 2016 the organization received a letter of patent for our existing name - Pregnancy & Wellness Centre of Moncton Inc.
- We comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements regarding employment, fundraising, financial management, taxation, and public disclosure, including the filing of all applicable government report in a timely manner.
- All of our staff, board members, and volunteers receive appropriate training to uphold these standards.
