Description
Photograph of MLA Lynn Stephens at the development site for the South Vancouver Neighbourhood House, organized by the Ministry of Community, Aboriginal and Women's Services, in Vancouver, B.C.. This was following an event announcing new facilities and equipment funding for child care spaces at the Champlain Heights Community Centre.
Lynn Stephens is a former Member of the British Columbia Legislative Assembly for the BC Liberal Party; she served three terms as an MLA for Langley. She served as the Opposition Critic for Women's Equality, as a member on the Women's Caucus Committee, and was appointed as the Minister of State for Women's Equality, a position she held until Jan. 26, 2004.
South Vancouver Neighbourhood House is a community-based organization based in South Vancouver with a mandate to develop harmonious relationships among community groups of different cultural, economic, religious, and social backgrounds. They tailor their programs and services based on the needs of the community, which include Seniors' Wellness, Youth Leadership, Licensed Preschool and Out-of-School Care, Parenting and Family Resource Programs, Settlement Services for Newcomers, Food Security, Literacy, Adult Day Programs, Community Engagement Events, and more.
Champlain Heights Community Centre is a community centre based in the Champlain Heights neighbourhood, which includes a branch of Vancouver Public Library and three elementary schools. The Community Centre's mission is to provide equal access to quality leisure services for individuals residing in Champlain Heights, through providing a youth room, licensed and preschool childcare, indoor cycling, a dance studio, squash and racquetball courts, a fitness centre with sauna, a tennis court, playground, and the Everrett Crowley Park.
Established on June 5, 2001, the Ministry of Community, Aboriginal and Women's Services was the amalgamation of programs from seven former ministries. It's vision was to build safe, secure, and healthy communities through working in partnerships, establishing frameworks, promoting provincial interests by funding performance-based services, and delivering innovative services. The ministry had eight departments: Local Government; Safety and Standards; Housing and Building Policy; Aboriginal, Multiculturalism and Immigration Programs; Community Services and Culture; Women's Services and Child Care; Olympic Bid, Community Initiatives and Vancouver Agreement; and Corporate Services. It is unclear if the Ministry is still operational.
