Our Mission
At Braefoot Community Association, we are committed to fostering a bright future for our community and its families. We create a warm, nurturing environment that educates and empowers youth to make positive, lasting contributions to society through active and engaging programs.
Our Values
🤸 Stay Active, Stay Healthy
We champion active lifestyles from an early age, encouraging children to develop healthy hobbies that carry into adolescence. Our outdoor playgrounds and sports facilities provide spaces for group activities and favorite sports, fostering physical well-being and teamwork.
👫 Family and Culture
Family is at the core of our community. Our staff, youth, and their families form a supportive, positive culture rooted in love, care, and respect. Our dedicated team brings warmth and enthusiasm, creating a family-oriented environment that strengthens community bonds.
🏆 Commitment
We empower youth to shape the future through initiatives like our Junior Leadership Program, which builds essential leadership and organizational skills. Since 1986, we’ve supported post-secondary students with bursaries to ease financial barriers and promote community leadership.
⛰️ Love for Nature
Inspired by Vancouver Island’s majestic rainforests, mountains, and ocean views, we instill a deep connection to nature in our youth. Partnering with EcoQuest Adventures, our Earth Science and outdoor education curriculum offers engaging, educational experiences for all ages.
Our Vision
We envision a vibrant, inclusive community where youth and families thrive in a caring, high-quality environment. Through our skilled team, we promote exploration, social skill development, and meaningful relationships, continuously enhancing our programs and facilities to exceed expectations.
