We work to enhance the lives of BC’s children who don’t qualify for
government services—but who are in need. We also strive to create,
build, and strengthen family support and community-based resources
to empower families to help provide the best possible care for their
children. The Western Society for Children also maintains a resource
library for parents, a website full of helpful information, and a
semi-annual newsletter.

Developing Abilities Academic Support
Activity Programs
We develop projects that allow the children to be socially
active, physical, and build friendships
Play Therapy
We will soon have a fun, multi-sensory room with different
types of equipment and toys. Parents can have the option to be engaged
in floor time activities, access peer support and knowledge, take
a break, or work quietly, knowing the child is having fun and taken
care of. This room is designated to create an environment that works
with a smaller group; it works for you and around your needs. If your
child needs extra support, it is available here.
Youth Independence
Accessible Career Experience
This project offers on-site work skills support for youth
and provides the youth a chance to be involved in the community. We
create a supportive, non competitive, understanding workplace that
models what it is like in the workforce. We appreciate your strengths
and facilitate the development of your skills.
Tutoring
We have a tutor who personalizes curriculum and teaching
methods to work with the individual strengths of the children.
