ABOUT

Ranch Ehrlo

Ranch Ehrlo, a non-profit organization, founded by the late Dr. Geoff Pawson in 1966. It started as a single home for six boys with significant complex needs and grew to a multi-service agency delivering a wide range of accredited mental health and developmental services delivered in southern Saskatchewan and in and around Saskatoon and Prince Albert.

As a CARE certified organization, our services include assessment and psychotherapy for members of the broader community, family treatment and reunification, early learning, vocational training, emergency receiving services, treatment foster care, affordable housing, group living treatment and education for children and youth with mental health, behavioural, and addictions needs, group living care for older adolescents and adults with pervasive and complex developmental disorders, and community recreation and sports programs for at-risk youth. Our participants are referred from across the country.

Faces of the Ranch: Tandi van Tol

The people who make up the teams at Ranch Ehrlo are woven together by a shared and true belief that this work matters – and that they are helping to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Through the Faces of the Ranch series, we're introducing the people who deliver care and compassion every day at Ranch Ehrlo. Tandi van Tol immigrated to Canada with no more than a suitcase and a plan to stay for one year. Now, 25 years later, she is preparing to celebrate two decades with Ranch Ehrlo Society and the life she has built on the Prairies.

Enhancing outdoor recreational spaces

Posted by Andrea Nicholl

Ranch Ehrlo is a place where young people receive preventative and restorative services so they can heal, grow, and achieve their full potential. It’s a place where healing happens and dreams are born. Equally important, is the simple chance to play – to enjoy the space around them and just be kids.

Faces of the Ranch: Kate Langen

In celebration of Ranch Ehrlo’s 60th anniversary, we are reflecting on the people who make our work possible each day – introducing you to individuals who have grown alongside us and who carry our mission forward. Our summer series will introduce audiences to the people who have helped shape the legacy that defines Ranch Ehrlo (link to introductory story). To begin the series, we start where the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. We will introduce Kate Langen, director of the Treatment Foster Care program at Ranch Ehrlo, and daughter of the organization’s founder, the late Dr. Geoff Pawson.
