🎄 Strive at the Lynn Valley Parade of Trees

We’re proud to share that Strive Living Society was selected as a sponsored participant in the 15th Annual Parade of Trees at Lynn Valley Village Plaza.

Our tree was thoughtfully designed by Strive staff and decorated to reflect our mission, values, services, and history, with special handmade ornaments created by participants from Strive Centre Footprints.

Thank you to the Lynn Valley Community Association for this meaningful opportunity to be part of such a special community tradition. ✨

Our Story

Strive Living Society (formally Howe Sound Rehabilitation Services Society) is a registered nonprofit organization that provides community and residential services for children, youth, adults, and seniors with diverse abilities.

Founded in 1988 by a Psychologist and Social Worker with the shared belief that even the most challenging individuals could live successfully in the community, Strive began as a modest group home for three young adults with developmental disabilities from the former Woodlands Hospital.

Today, Strive serves individuals, not only adults with developmental disabilities, but also children, youth, and seniors with physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries, medical complications, mental health issues, autism spectrum disorders, behavioural obstacles, and/or dementia. In addition to residential resources, Strive operates drop-in centres, community-based programs, and home-based services.

Strive’s service area has expanded from North Vancouver to Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, as well as the Sunshine Coast. Most of our programs are fully CARF accredited.
