BC Council for Families

FAMILY CHAMPIONS COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES   
Big or small, old or young, brand new or been around the block, we want to hear about them all!  

It's time again for the BC Council for Families' Distinguished Service to Families Awards, and we're asking you -- our members and supporters -- to tell us about the hardworking family champions in your communities!

This year, we're focusing particularly on individuals and organizations supporting the needs of youth.

Is there an organization you know of that's going the extra mile providing programs and services for teens? Is there a individual -- a youth themselves, or an adult -- who stands out for you as a visionary leader in informing, advocating, or working for young people in BC?  

Tell us about them! We'll honour one organization and one individual with a Distinguished Service to Families Award this spring, at our Annual General Meeting in Vancouver.
