The Winnipeg Children's Access Agency is a non-profit, charity organization whose goal is to encourage contact between children and their parent or legal guardian in cases when there has been evidence of interpersonal abuse. This is accomplished through supervised visits and exchanges that take place in a safe, impartial, and child-focused setting.
