Strong communities begin with connection, collaboration, and access to the right support.

EFry was pleased to participate in the Community Connections Resource Fair, connecting with community members and sharing information about our programs and services for the youth.

Events like these create valuable opportunities to build relationships, raise awareness of available resources, and help individuals and families discover support they may not know exists. By bringing community organizations together, we can strengthen connections and make it easier for people to access the services they need to navigate challenges and move forward.

A sincere thank you to the Surrey School District for inviting EFry and hosting this meaningful event. We appreciate the opportunity to connect with fellow service providers and contribute to a community where support is more accessible to everyone.

Poverty is more than a lack of income. It can mean difficult choices between essential needs, barriers to stable housing, and uncertainty about what tomorrow will bring.

This International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we recognize the importance of addressing these barriers and ensuring women, children, and families can access the resources and support they need to move forward.

At EFry, we believe everyone deserves dignity, opportunity, and the chance to thrive—regardless of their circumstances.

Together, we can help build a future where support is accessible and no one is defined by poverty.

Knowing your rights is an important step toward protecting your home, your well-being, and your future.

Through our Know Your Worth, Know Your Rights workshop, funded by The Home Depot Canada Foundation, participants learned about their tenancy rights and what to watch out for when renting a home.

Our guest speakers, Melissa Morris and Sophia Mullen, legal advocates from the EFry Community Law Clinic, shared valuable information about tenant protections, common rental concerns, and the importance of understanding your rights. Knowing where to turn when facing unfair treatment, confusing rental agreements, or housing-related challenges can make a meaningful difference.

Access to clear, reliable legal information empowers people to make informed decisions, recognize potential issues, and seek help when they need it. Everyone deserves to feel informed and supported when it comes to their housing.

Need support with a tenancy or housing-related concern? Contact EFry’s Community Law Clinic at [email protected] to learn more about available resources and support.

Creating safer futures begins with listening, learning, and working together.

The Elizabeth Fry Society of Greater Vancouver participated in the Safe Futures: Housing, Healing, and Hope Conference, hosted by Abbotsford’s Safe Relationships, Safe Children Committee for the fifth time. As an active member of the committee, EFry was pleased to take part in this important gathering focused on strengthening support for individuals and families.

Through meaningful presentations and thought-provoking discussions, speakers shared valuable insights and practical resources to strengthen the collective response to intimate partner violence (IPV) and gender-based violence (GBV).

For EFry, opportunities like this help us deepen our knowledge, strengthen community partnerships, and reflect on how we can better support the safety, healing, and well-being of the individuals and families we serve. As the conference concluded with a call to action, we were reminded that creating safer futures takes continued commitment and collective effort.

Connection can be the first step toward finding the right support.

Yesterday, EFry joined Connect Day in New Westminster as part of Homelessness Action Week, connecting with community members and sharing information about the programs and services available to support people in our community.

We had the opportunity to highlight the Maida Duncan Drop-In Centre, along with other EFry programs that help women, children, families, and individuals access essential resources, navigate challenges, and find support when they need it most.

Homelessness Action Week reminds us that behind every circumstance is a person deserving of dignity, understanding, and the opportunity to move forward. Through community connections and accessible support, we can help ensure that no one has to navigate these challenges alone.

Homelessness is not a personal failure. And it should never define a person’s worth.

Behind every experience of homelessness is a person with their own story, strengths, hopes, and future.

During Homelessness Action Week, let’s challenge stigma, listen to lived experiences, and speak up for the changes that create pathways to safe, stable housing.

Look beyond the label. Challenge stigma. Take action.

Together, we can help build communities where everyone has a place to belong.

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the people who remind us that no one has to navigate life alone.

Every day, women, children, and families show incredible strength as they take steps toward new beginnings, stronger futures, and lives they choose for themselves. And behind every step is a community that believes in their possibilities.

May this Thanksgiving be a reminder that kindness can create connection, support can open doors, and together, we can help make room for brighter beginnings.

From our EFry family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

Mental health is part of our overall well-being. Everyone deserves access to support when they need it.

Too often, cost, stigma, wait times, and limited services can stand between people and the care they need. Support shouldn’t have to wait until someone reaches a crisis.

Through accessible counselling and community-based supports, EFry creates space for people to seek support, build coping strategies, and move forward.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s keep advocating for accessible, timely, and stigma-free mental health care for all.
