Mission Statement

“To provide a safe, supportive place where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life.”

Core Values

Belonging
We strive to offer children and youth from all economic, cultural, and social backgrounds access to the resources, supports and opportunities that will enable them to overcome barriers and achieve their positive potential in life.

Respect
We provide a safe, supportive place, where every child is listened to, respected, and valued in an environment of inclusion and acceptance. Our staff and volunteers model honesty, fair play, positive attitude, cooperation and respect for self and others.

Encouragement and Support
We believe all young people can grow into responsible, contributing, and self-reliant members of society. Children and youth are at the centre of everything we do. Through adventure, play and discovery, we encourage and empower them to develop healthy lifestyles, a life-long passion for learning, leadership and life skills and a sense of social responsibility.

Working Together
We work together with families and volunteers in each community, in partnership with the public and private sector, to create healthy community solutions to providing children and youth with what they need for optimal development.

Speaking Out
We speak out on behalf of children, youth, and their families to reduce disadvantage, enhance their lives and enable their voices and ideas to be heard.
