Emergency shelter for women and their children who are in crisis resulting from family violence. Provides advocacy, counselling, education and prevention
Bridges for Women Society provides support, education and employment training for women who have been impacted by trauma, violence, abuse and/or neglect, to reclaim their lives and build economic security. We also offer trauma-informed employment programs, an online program, personal and career assessments, counselling, one on one support, career exploration, job development, mentoring, upgrading with Camosun College, and support with accessing the single parent employment initiative. We are located at 6625 Sooke Road (in the Worklink office).
As Juan de Fuca regional residents we share this in common:
We are gravely troubled by the staggering rate and volume of deforestation in our region. We believe that our forests are being grossly mismanaged, and that these lands which should represent our commons have been unjustly expropriated in the name of fast profit for industry shareholders, at the expense of ecological sustainability and what is literally the birthright ground for future generations.
Our vision is two-fold:
A band of volunteers, armed with equipment like night vision binoculars and software to scan for stolen vehicles, covertly patrol the Sooke region to help deter crime.
The Citizens on Patrol Sooke currently has 20 members who act as additional ‘eyes and ears’ for local RCMP.
In one evening, the COPS will travel 50 to 60 km by car a night, carefully monitoring school yards, locked facilities, parking lots, business properties and areas noted to have high crime rates.
They also perform stationery and on foot surveillance, and act as traffic controllers when required.
The Sooke Region Volunteer Centre was founded to promote and support volunteerism in the Sooke Region, and to build a community where everyone volunteers.
Sooke Elderly Citizens' Housing Society (SECHS) provides 18 Independent Living cottages, 25 Assisted Living Apartments and 32 Complex Care Suites at Ayre Manor Lodge and Cottages.
Ayre Manor Lodge is located at the end of Ayre Road, 6764 Ayre Road, Sooke, BC, V9Z 1K1.
Our goal is to provide affordable housing and support for the seniors of the Sooke Region.
If you would like a tour, please contact Ayre Manor at 250 642-1750 for an appropriate time.
