Western Children's Mission
Western Children's Mission was established and incorporated ca. l935 by an interdenominational group, including members of the Mennonite Brethren (MB) Church in Saskatchewan, as an evangelistic agency to reach un-churched children, operating in the three western Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. In 1952 the Western Children's Mission was broken up into three provincial agencies. The West Coast Children's Mission took over the work in British Columbia; the Rand Mission, which was taken over by the Mennonite Brethren (MB) Alberta Conference, continued the work in Alberta; and the Saskatchewan work was taken over by the MB Conference of that province under the name Mennonite Brethren Mission of Saskatchewan, with headquarters at Hepburn, Saskatchewan.
