	Prairie Informs Rcmp of Allegations Prairie Bible Institute November 20, 2011 http://www.prairie.edu/Page.aspx?pid=559 Recently, there have been presented alleged instances of abuse by individuals connected with Prairie Bible Institute. To the extent of our information, the incidents in question date back several decades, and the individuals purportedly involved are no longer at Prairie. Nevertheless, we feel it is appropriate to respond and to emphasize our commitment to seeking truth and transparency. We have taken a file containing many of these allegations to the RCMP, discussed the alleged incidents with them and assured them of our full co-operation should further inquiry be necessary. At a recent meeting, the Board selected Linda Brinks, one of its members, to be a point of contact for the public. Should any individual feel that he or she has been the recipient of abusive conduct by a Prairie staff member while enrolled at Prairie and prefer to not take this to the police, that individual can contact Linda Brinks directly at alindabrinks@gmail.com. Our board chair, Bruce Miller, will also be so informed and will provide guidance as necessary. The board recognizes the seriousness of any potential allegations and would desire to achieve healing and reconciliation. In partnership with our students, staff, faculty and alumni, our objective is to provide a school environment that is healthy and vibrant, giving life to all who come our way. As we work our way through this difficult issue, my goal as President is to deal with this in an open and accessible manner. Together with you, seeking truth and restoration, Mark L. Maxwell President Prairie Bible Institute November 15, 2011
