Sexual violence impacts everyone, not just survivors but their communities as a whole. In BC, programs all across the province support survivors to find and access resources, as well as planning for their safety and healing.

This Sexual Assault Awareness month we are supporting Ending Violence Association of British Columbia awareness campaign.

At Cameray Child and Family Services we work to support survivors of gender-based violence through our Sexual Assault Services (SAS) and Child and Youth Victim Support Services (CVSS) program.

Our work, and the work of many organizations throughout BC is to build supported communities. We work alongside many providers in healthcare, childcare, and justice to ensure that survivors have the supports they need to heal.

Our condolences to Vera's friends, family and community and all at Spirit of the Children Society. Elder Vera's presence will be missed at the Hlúlú Family Drop-in and we are grateful for the wisdom and guidance she brought to these sessions.

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved elder, Vera.

Vera was a meaningful presence in our community. Her wisdom, kindness, and spirit touched many lives, and her contributions will not be forgotten. She brought warmth and guidance and her legacy will continue to shape our work and relationships moving forward.

During this time, we recognize that many of you may be grieving in your own way. Please take the space you need, and support one another as we reflect on Vera’s life and the impact she had on all of us.

Today is World Art Day! During the March school break, we had the pleasure of hosting a wonderful Young Artist Workshop for school-aged children and their younger siblings…and what an inspiring experience it was!

Led by Tvesha, a talented Grade 7 student from University Highlands Elementary School, participants were guided step-by-step in creating their own scenic landscape paintings. Tvesha did an incredible job leading the group. Children were engaged, focused, and clearly enjoying the creative process throughout the two-hour session.

The finished artwork was absolutely beautiful, and we’re proud to display Tvesha’s own demonstration painting, now hanging at the top of the stairwell in our Rosser office.

A heartfelt thank you to Tvesha, her parents, her younger sister Eva, and all the families who joined us. We’re especially grateful to Tvesha’s mom Sapna and Eva, who are regular participants in our Early Years parent-child drop-in at University Highlands Elementary.

We look forward to welcoming Tvesha back for future workshops!

At Cameray Child and Family Services, we see every day how music helps children and families grow together and this Music Therapy Awareness Month we're sharing some moments from our recent early years Harmony for All session.

Through song, rhythm, and movement, our youngest clients build communication skills, strengthen attachment, develop self-regulation, and gain confidence.

This group was run in partnership with Harmony For All, a community-based initiative for Burnaby residents, that provides free musical instrument lending, no-cost musical education outreach programs and scholarship opportunities for City music lessons. This initiative is the brainchild of Burnaby City Councillor and musician Joe Keithley, and is geared towards Burnaby residents who cannot afford instruments and lessons or experience barriers to participation. Harmony for All aims to connect people through music, promote positive interactions and build stronger communities.

Thank you to Michaela Slinger, who has been facilitating the groups at Cameray:
"As a professional musician and songwriter, I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to stay grounded in the transformative and joyful power of music on a daily basis as a facilitator with Harmony For All. Cameray is such a wonderful place for new parents and their little ones to play and explore together, and it's always evident in my time there how much the staff cares about creating community and supporting healthy development."
