In 1952 the Western Children's Mission was broken up into three provincial agencies. The West Coast Children's Mission took over the work in British Columbia; the Randmission, which was taken over by the Mennonite Brethren (MB) Alberta Conference, continued the work in Alberta; and the Saskatchewan work was taken over by the MB Conference of that province under the name Mennonite Brethren Mission of Saskatchewan, with headquarters at Hepburn, Saskatchewan.
