How does MayBell protect my privacy?

MayBell protects personal and health information in accordance with the Health Information Protection Act (HIPA), the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and applicable Saskatchewan privacy legislation. Information is collected only for program purposes, stored securely, and shared on a need-to-know basis with staff directly involved in providing support. Written, informed consent is required before information is shared with outside agencies, except in situations where disclosure is required by law (for example, concerns about serious risk of harm or child protection).

How does Lilium Village support safety and take a trauma-informed approach?

Lilium Village uses a trauma-informed, harm-reduction, and familyfocused approach that recognizes the impact of past experiences and prioritizes emotional, physical, and cultural safety. Staff work alongside residents as partners in change, focusing on strengths, autonomy, and supportive relationships rather than judgment. As mandated by the Child and Family Services Act, staff are required to report concerns about the safety or well-being of children, and this duty is explained to families in a clear and reassuring way so they understand how child protection and safety responsibilities are handled.

Do I have to be Christian to join Lilium Village?

No. While our program is Christian, and our programming reflects the message of the gospel, we believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every person and welcome individuals of all backgrounds. Participation in faith-based activities is optional, and residents are never required to take part if they choose not to.

Hear from those who believe in our mission

“It’s been almost 5 years now since I started volunteering with Maybell Developments. Not only do I have a fuller picture of the issues and challenges [participants] face, I also have names and faces linked to this picture. My compassion quotient has increased, and I sense I’m nearer the side of Christ as I walk with these women.”

Rita-Mae Braun
Ally and Volunteer

“MayBell Development’s vision to work toward ending poverty through faith-based and relational programs really connected with my heart. What a blessing it’s been to be part of the Faith and Finances program and the Knit-a-thon, as well as seeing the exciting progress at Lilium Village!”

Merle Ross
Ally and Volunteer

“This extraordinary organization is a true testimony that together (with God as our solid rock and foundation) we are much stronger together than we are apart.”
