Our Programs

This summer we are offering a free two-week Health & Wellness Program for newcomer and immigrant youth ages 8–12. The program runs on August 18th, 19th, 21st, 23rd, 26th, and 28th. Six sessions from 2:00–3:00 PM at the West Vancouver Community Centre. There is no cost to participate, making it accessible for families to help their children build healthy habits, and connect with others in the community.

Throughout the program, children will take part in interactive sessions led by healthcare professionals, registered dietitians/nutritionists, medical specialists, and experienced instructors. They will learn about balanced nutrition from registered dietitians, discover the importance of healthy sleep and responsible technology use with a pediatrician, practice meditation and breathing techniques to improve focus and manage stress, and learn to dance with a choreographed dance routine. Every session is designed to be engaging and fun, with opportunities for children to participate in discussion and apply what they learn through hands-on activities.

In addition to learning valuable health and wellness skills, children will have be able to make new friends when playing fun group games such as musical chairs and icebreaker games. Prizes will be given out after every session, and each child will receive a certificate of completion during the final session to celebrate their achievements.
