From a Carnation Sale to Housing for Seniors

It might sound like fiction, but it is thanks to a Lion's Club Mother's Day carnation sale in 1947 that Beulah Garden (BG) Homes has been able to provide affordable housing for older adults for more than 65 years.

BG Homes was founded as a not-for-profit in 1951, having reorganized from the Senior Citizens’ Homes Association Limited (SCHA). The SCHA began as a small group of people concerned about housing options for pensioners and, with the proceeds from that first Mother's Day flower sale, they purchased a city block in Vancouver with the intention of serving seniors in need of low-cost housing. By 1950, the SCHA had built four new duplexes on that city block and brought eight wartime duplexes by barge from Washington to Vancouver.

In subsequent decades, BG Homes, as a partner ministry of the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada, expanded its campus to four residences: the Rupert Residence (1964), the Charles Bentall Residence (1991), the Beechwood Residence (2006), and The Cedars Residence (2007). BG Homes believes in an aging-in-place philosophy, cultivating a campus of care that allows for flexibility as residents’ needs change. Its campus provides independent and assisted-living options for around 300 residents, as well as an adult daycare serving the neighbourhood.

BG Homes champions Christian compassion and as part of its mission, it is in community with three affiliates: Blossoms Charitable Society, BG Cedars Society and BG Aspen Green Society. Blossoms Charitable Society (formerly Beulah Charitable Holdings Society) was created in 2014 to help sustain and foster the BG community, while BG Cedars Society owns and operates The Cedars.
