CYSN services are for children and youth from birth to 19 years of age who are BC residents. Children and youth eligible for these programs include those with developmental delays\, autism\, and some complex health needs. \nRegister to connect with us now! \n\n\n\n\n  \nJoin a community engagement session\n\n\n\n\nAdditional dates and locations will continually be added as they are confirmed.

By attending the event\, you agree to indemnify and save harmless Moms Against Racism\, including their officials\, officers\, employees and agents from any claim\, lawsuit\, liability\, debt\, demand\, loss or judgement (including costs\, defence expense and interest) whatsoever and howsoever arising either directly or indirectly as a result of participating in this event.

Every child deserves the opportunity to try something new\, to connect with nature\, and to do so without the judgmental and scrutinizing gaze of the people around them. \nUnfortunately\, for Black\, Indigenous and Children of Colour\, they often don’t get these opportunities. \nThese children often face barriers when it comes to… being a kid. Barriers to participating in activities like finances\, travel\, time\, lack of knowledge\, stigma\, fear for safety\, and even just feeling like they’re going to stick out or be the only racialized kid there. \nBe a Kid events are \n\nFun and welcoming\nOpen to children who identity as BIPOC and their immediate families/caregivers (white family members/caregivers are welcome)\nIntended to build community. Come ready to meet and talk with new people.
