Following a process and partnership with the community, a group of individuals interested in the issue of violence met in the summer of 1997 to study the feasibility of establishing a violence prevention centre in Kent.The project was inspired by the community development approach and focused on the creation of intercommunity partnerships in a spirit of collective management of the community\u2019s well-being. Success depended on community participation. It also had to promote concepts of prevention, visibility, awareness-building and public education about everything affected by violence, both near and far.<\/p>\n<p>1998<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA board of directors was formed in 1998 to put the plan in motion for the Kent Violence Prevention Centre.<\/p>\n<p>1999<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn 1999, the Centre was incorporated and hired its first employee, the Prevention Centre\u2019s director.<\/p>\n<p>2000<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Kent Violence Prevention Centre officially opened in 2000, and action research was implemented to uncover the needs of Kent County residents.<\/p>\n<p>2004<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Kent safe house, called \u201cSerenity House,\u201d officially opened in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>2008<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn 2008, the Violence Prevention Centre began construction of housing units that would become the Maison Oasis and, in 2009, the creation of second-stage housing was completed.
