London, ON – Robert Adeland, President of Marketing Strategies & Solutions, is pleased to report that the firm’s  Creative Director, Lyn Ibson, was recently elected to Chair the Board of Directors for Craigwood Youth Services.

Craigwood is a children’s mental health agency based in London, Ontario, providing residential care and counselling service for youth at risk and their families. Craigwood has operated several youth programs at its property near Ailsa Craig, Ontario, for more than 50 years, as well as a group home and a counselling centre in the City of London. Craigwood staff work closely with Ontario’s Ministry of Children & Youth Services, Youth Justice and Children’s Aid Societies to serve youth throughout southern Ontario.
