West Side Family Place

West Side Family Place Since 1973 WSFP has provided a welcoming gathering place for parents, caregivers and children in the community to meet, learn, and grow together.

We would like to acknowledge that we at West Side Family Place are growing and learning as a community on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, in this place commonly known as Vancouver, BC. As guests, we honour the land, water, animals, and the continued efforts of the Indigenous people working to protect them.

Registration is Back!

Thank you to everyone who joined us this summer while we tried a no-registration approach for our programs. We appreciated the opportunity to test a more flexible way for families to participate!

📌As we move into September, we’re going to reinstate registration for all programs. Registration helps us plan for the number of families attending, prepare our spaces and materials, and make sure we can provide a positive experience for everyone. Registration begins Friday, September 4 at 10 am - Link in our bio, "Register for Programs".

We know registration adds an extra step, and we appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions or need help registering, please reach out to us—we’re happy to help! We look forward to seeing you soon.
