How We Got Started
The Village came together in response to the growing community social service needs of one of the fastest growing regions of British Columbia and the shared recognition that a regional, collaborative approach is required, with fewer silos and greater coordination of services.
It Takes a Village
The Village took root when the Sooke School District and Island Health started a conversation with community partners, including local governments, recognizing that the health and wellbeing of children, youth, and families are best supported through an all-hands-on-deck approach – a Village. The urgency of our mission has only been underscored by the global pandemic and its impact on children, youth, and families. Read our Terms of Reference here.
