Hundreds of young women have been through the doors of The Salvation Army’s Grace Haven facility in Hamilton, Ont., during its 128-year history. In all those years of assisting young parents and parents-to-be, there has never been a dad enrolled in any Grace Haven program, ever. That all changed this past June, when 20-year-old Keith accepted that valued piece of paper, making him the first ever “Grad Dad” at Grace Haven.
