Calgary's first safe surrender site for babies will soon be available not far from the site where a newborn was found dead in a Bowness dumpster six years ago.
"The thing for us was about putting the child first," said Sarah Hughes, director of development with Children's Cottage Society (CCS).
Hope's Cradle will be an anonymous drop-off site.
When an infant is left in the heated, secured cradle, a silent alarm will inform staff.
An information package will be available for the parent.
The door to that cradle will be near the entrance of CCS's Child and Family Centre in Montgomery opening in 2024.
