Image of familyThe Vancouver Island Regional Advisory Council is a volunteer group whose members hold the well-being of children, youth and families at the centre of their work.

The Ministry of Children and Family Development established the council, in the fall of 2008, to serve as a link with the communities of Vancouver Island and to strengthen the ministry’s working relationships. The council members represent the diverse geographical areas of the Vancouver Island Region and have a wide range of professional and personal experience to offer.

The council meets on a regular basis to develop recommendations that reflect community issues about the safety and well-being of children, youth and families. The council is a resource to both the ministry and the community and supports collaborative working relationships while representing community perspectives and providing a critical communications link between the ministry and the communities it serves.
