OCS Outcomes Report 2016-2017
We were able to enhance these activities through in- kind/monetary donations from RBC Day of Service Grants. We gained RBC employee volunteer support and $7,000 in donations towards program activities.
Closure of Bridgeview Child Care Centre Unfortunately, as a result of consistently low enrollment due to location, accessibility and lack of continuum of care, Bridgeview Child Care Centre closed on December 31, 2016. Fraser Health Crisis Line We have been acknowledged as the busiest crisis line in the province; receiving a record number of calls this year and being incredibly grateful for our record number of wonderful volunteers who ensure that someone is always there to answer the call. Transition Houses We received notification in February 2017 of $109,000 in funding for Virginia Sam and $155,000 funding for Evergreen renovations and repairs. Community Partner of the Year Whalley Employment Services Centre (WESC) WESC received the Community Partner of the Year award from the Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work. The award was received by Options’ Whalley WorkBC staff who helped in the marketing and placement of clients with multiple barriers, including those with physical and mental limitations. This money will be used to create a safer and more welcoming environment for the women and children who come to our homes.
