As of April 1, 2004, all Youth Justice Services were transferred to the Ministry of Children and Youth.

For the past several years, the North Oshawa Lions Club has made children one of their primary interests to support. To accomplish this goal, they opened the Harold McNeill House in August of 1972. As a result of the success of the House, the North Oshawa Lions Club was approached by the Ministry of Community and Social Services to open a second facility.

This residence, known as the Murray McKinnon House, opened in August of 1986. In 1987, the Ministry of Community and Social services again solicited the support of the North Oshawa Lions Club to take on another program formerly known as Argyle Youth Services.

The North Oshawa Lions Club agreed and in May of 1987, Oakwood House became their third facility to provide a quality service to youths. The Reintegration Support Outreach Program engaged with their First Client in September 1996. In March 2005, the Agency opened a Non-Residential Attendance Centre (M.A.C.).

All Programs are operated by the North Oshawa Lions club through the formation of a non-profit corporation which is known as the Murray McKinnon Foundation.

All facilities are transfer payment homes. The Harold McNeill House, Murray McKinnon House, Oakwood House, Reintegration Support Outreach Program and the Non-Residential Attendance Centre (M.A.C.) are 100% funded by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services.

The Harold McNeill House was named after a local Judge Harold McNeill.

The Murray McKinnon House and the Murray McKinnon Foundation are dedicated to the memory of North Oshawa Lion's Club Member, Murray McKinnon.
