About

VACFSS is a non-profit society providing service to urban Aboriginal children and families living in the Greater Vancouver area. Our vision is a balanced and harmonious Aboriginal community. We strive to culturally and spiritually strengthen Aboriginal families through holistic service delivery. We honour the traditions and wisdom inherent in the Aboriginal community. Our goal is to work to create a stronger community through partnerships with other service providers and by connecting with community resources. VACFSS has been a child and family serving agency since our incorporation in 1992. We are continuing to transform our services to make them more grounded within our history and to reflect the diverse cultures of the clients we serve. With the transfer of child protection services from the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) in 2008 we continue to focus on better outcomes for the children and families we serve. This is a very exciting time for VACFSS and Aboriginal people in BC. VACFSS acknowledges, with deep respect and gratitude, that our work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking Musqueam Peoples, the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ilwətaʔɬ/Sel̓ílwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We recognize the past, present, and future generations of the Coast Salish Peoples who help us steward this land, as well as honour and celebrate this place.
