This is a group of like-minded moms and dads who desire to provide support and encouragement for each other. We believe that: - parenting should be positive and non-violent - children are people and therefore deserve to be understood, acknowledged, and respected - by listening and responding to our children's needs, we are able to follow our instincts even though they may veer from the mainstream   We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today …

Or maybe flourishing, but looking for more academically inclined friendships and relationships? As a parent, are you frustrated by the lack of support and help within your school for your highly able child? I'm interested in starting a community group for families with at least one academically gifted child aged preschool …

This group was started to support and help those who are caring for a elderly parent, disabled family member, friend, partner, spouse or other relative. Of course along with the caregiving is the stress.  The physical and emotional health of the caregiver sometimes becomes comprised.  Among many of the problems that caregivers experience are depression, sleeplessness, a sense of isolation, family tensions, grief, and loss of the person you knew before! Do any of these sound familiar! Well, we ma …

This group is for parents of children under 10 years old who want to get together and share ideas about allowances, saving, and teaching money skills to our children. As a mom, I want my daughter to grow up and live a good life. We all know that times are changing and things are going to be tough out there for our kids. A lot of us have had problems with their money because they were never taught what to do. No one took the time to sit down and teach us about money. But what if these les …

Jenni and I had our son in November 2010. From conception, pregnancy, childbirth and now raising a child, we recognize the unique and special experience of being a queer family. We hear there are lots of us out there, but sometimes hard to connect to ... So we decided to start a group that will offer social activities, play dates, information sessions and mutual support.

Hubby and I are mad for surfing and snowboarding, we've dabbled in long-boarding and wake-boarding, and also like to hike and mess around on boats. Since becoming parents in February 2010, we've managed to keep up our favourite hobbies but not without some challenges. This group is aimed at bringing together active parents and their babies in a fun and supportive way. We will organise family-friendly ski/snowboard trips to destinations across BC, surfing in Tofino and are open to other ideas …
