Vancouver, BC: Jessica Chant, Executive Director of the Society for Children and Youth of British Columbia this week submitted her resignation to the Board of Directors thanking the organization for the opportunity to have worked with such a knowledgeable and committed group of people in the area of children’s rights. Gary Manson, President of the Society stated that Chant worked hard on behalf of the membership and ultimately on behalf of young people throughout the Province to promote children’s rights. “Jess has been an enthusiastic and proud supporter of SCY and on behalf of the Board of Directors I thank her for her commitment and contributions.”
