Our Story
|
Saanich Neighbourhood Place was established in 1993 by a group of citizens and parents who recognized the need for a space where families could gather, share resources, and support one another in a safe and inclusive community environment.
With community support, Saanich Neighbourhood Place was formally established in 1997 as a registered non-profit family resource centre providing programs and services for families, youth and children. We have grown and now have three locations: Pearkes Recreation Centre (1993), Broad View United (2019), and Saanich Neighbourhood Place Child and Family Centre (2021). Royal Oak Neighbourhood House (2018) was closed in 2023, and is looking for a new home. |
