The Salvation Army Ottawa Grace Manor is governed by a Board of Governance in conjunction with The Salvation Army Divisional Headquarters. The Grace Manor is licensed with the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, and has been granted a three year accreditation by the Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation. Since it’s opening in 2002 the Grace has undergone annual inspections by the Compliance Officers within the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.
