About Family Place

New Westminster Family Place welcomes all families by supporting them with services and resources that empower them to thrive!

OUR HISTORY

New Westminster Family Place was opened in 1989 after 3 years of planning and fundraising with the help of the Public Health Unit and the Interagency Committee. This service was seen as necessary to the community, providing support services to isolated families with young children. Since then, from multiple locations, Family Place New West has been a second home to families in our community.

WHAT WE DO

We offer drop in programs, workshops and parenting groups for all families to find support, strengthen their relationships with their children and their family members, enhance how they feel about their parenting, and build community connection and belonging. We are here so that families in New West can be empowered to THRIVE! Please check out our  calendar for more details. We are a member of the BC Association of Family Resource Programs.
