October is Foster Family Month

Fostering is about opening your home and caring for children and youth in BC who are under the age of 19 and who temporarily cannot live with their own families. Fostering means helping others in your community and comes with immense rewards for both foster caregivers and the children and youth they will foster.

October is Foster Family Month. First proclaimed by the province of British Columbia in 1990, Foster Family Month is a time for everyone in communities across the province to celebrate all foster families in BC. The occasion offers an opportunity to reflect and be grateful for the selfless dedication of close to 2,000 foster parents who open their hearts and their homes to children, youth and families who need it most.

We would like to thank all of BC’s amazing foster parents for everything you do for the children, youth, families and the community! ❤️
