"As stated by a local medical doctor, Dr. Alan Stanhope, M.D. of Calgary, who provides medical care for clients at AARC, “Children are dying on the streets of Calgary, and a program such as this (AARC) will unquestionably save lives.”

I can tell you exactly why anybody would let Dr. Vause (or Mr. Vause at the time) open a place without "proper qualifications". Desperation. Parents were watching their children die, and have their lives destroyed by drugs and alcohol. They were desperate. In fact, it is my understanding that they had to fly Dr. Vause in from Vancouver 3 times before he agreed to open a center."
With this tremendous outcry to bring the former Kids of Bergen County employee to Calgary, one would think that there were people clamoring to get their childre into All About Receiving Cash. Curiously though, two months after it opened, here is the sum total of clients according to former client and patient DavidPablo Escobar-Grant:
"The only girl client stayed upstairs...
At that time in AARC there was The Redhead, the first client...The Englishman,... The Hulk, The Jailbird. The Guitarist and The Skier were the guys who had done my assessment... Then there was the wannabe."
Where are all of the dying children of the desperate parents? And why did AARC need a million dollars to treat eight kids in an old warehouse? Out of this eight, Mr. Escobar-Grant is an adult and "The Englishman" was there because his foster father "was a friend of the Englishman's parents, and he and Mr. Vause had known each other for more than 20 years."
In fact, AARC did not graduate it's one hundredth client until 1999. That works out to less than fourteen grads per year.
