Cardinal Point, Canadian County’s family resource center, is moving operations into a new home in Yukon after four years in El Reno.

Redhawk Construction has managed a renovation project at the former Canadian County Health Department office, 1023 E. Vandament.

Providing hope will continue as the family justice center and its resource partners serve crime victims inside the 10,500-square-foot building – which was built in the early 1990s for the health department.

The Intervention and Crisis Advocacy Network (ICAN) will have three full-time staff members at the Cardinal Point Family Justice Center’s new location.

The move gives the organization locations in El Reno and now Yukon. 

Both public and private partner agencies will assign staff on a full-time or part-time basis to provide services from inside the remodeled former county health department building at 1023 E. Vandament, Yukon.

Seven Canadian County District 3 crew members received certificates for completing the Roads Scholar Program. District 3 Commissioner Tracey Rider recognized her personnel during the commissioners meeting.

The Roads Scholar Program is offered through the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), an outreach of the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology at Oklahoma State University.

Rider said her crew is “committed” to becoming certified Road Scholars.
