SOS provides programs and services that are accessible and non-judgmental and are available to residents of all ages.

Did you know that including SOS in your Will can create a lasting impact for generations—without taking away from what you need today? Even a 1% gift from your estate can make a bigger difference than you ever imagined, while still ensuring your loved ones are cared for. Plus, there are valuable tax benefits for charitable giving in Canada.

Join others in our community who are strengthening the social safety net for the future. Talk to your financial advisor to learn how you can make a difference and leave a lasting legacy. 💙

Our Support Clinic is Happening tomorrow!

Navigating taxes, benefits, pensions and government programs can be overwhelming. That's why a Support Clinic with Canada Revenue Agency and Service Canada is coming to the SOS Community Services Centre on June 10 to help.

Come by, ask questions, learn about programs and benefits you may be eligible for, and get help understanding what's available to you. Learn more about benefits, credits, pensions, tax information, the Canada Disability Benefit, dental care programs and other government services.

We will also have:
✔ Two SOS volunteer tax preparers onsite to help residents with low to modest income get their basic tax returns prepared and filed
✔ An SOS staff member available to answer questions about the wide range of SOS programs and services, volunteering opportunities and community supports
✔ Drop-in service — no appointment necessary

📅 June 10, 2026
🕙 10 am to 3 pm
📍 SOS Community Services Centre, 245 Hirst Ave. W., Parksville

Important: Please bring ID (photo ID preferred).

Sometimes all it takes is a little help navigating the system. Please share this post with people in your life who may find this Clinic helpful!😊

We had a ball at the SOS Fore Our Community Golf Tournament, and we hope you did too!

It was great to see so many of our sponsors at their holes cheering golfers on throughout the day. Thank you to everyone who teed off for a good cause, participated in our silent and live auctions, and helped make the event such a success.

A huge thank you to the many local businesses, sponsors, volunteers and community members who came together to support children, youth and families in District 69. We were blown away by the generosity and community spirit on display.

Thank you as well to Morningstar Golf Club for the delicious food and for hosting a fantastic day.

It was wonderful to see the community come together "fore" our community!
