This group was started to support and help those who are caring for a elderly parent, disabled family member, friend, partner, spouse or other relative. Of course along with the caregiving is the stress. The physical and emotional health of the caregiver sometimes becomes comprised. Among many of the problems that caregivers experience are depression, sleeplessness, a sense of isolation, family tensions, grief, and loss of the person you knew before! Do any of these sound familiar! Well, we ma …

Jenni and I had our son in November 2010. From conception, pregnancy, childbirth and now raising a child, we recognize the unique and special experience of being a queer family. We hear there are lots of us out there, but sometimes hard to connect to ... So we decided to start a group that will offer social activities, play dates, information sessions and mutual support.

Hubby and I are mad for surfing and snowboarding, we've dabbled in long-boarding and wake-boarding, and also like to hike and mess around on boats.

This group is for new moms adjusting from careers into motherhood or balancing both, and looking to share fun times and experiences with other hip Mammas! Why join??Because no one really prepares us for all of the adjustments of motherhood (ie. how many times we'd be singing itsy bitsy spider), and we, hip Mammas need to empower, support and learn from ea …

As a parent, are you frustrated by the lack of support and help within your school for your highly able child? I'm interested in starting a community group for families with at least one academically gifted child aged preschool …
As part of a project to create a village of friends, this one focuses on families and family activities in Coquitlam and Port Moody (and beyond). This group is for parents (moms and DADS) with kids of all ages (0-15 mostly but parents with older children are welcome to join as well) and expecting parents. As the greatest thing kids have in common is not their age. They can all learn something from one another. I hope this will become a support network. I am into meeting new people (despi …

The vision for this group is one of an active playgroup, ideally with a neighbourhood feel. To further that neighbour feel, we can be a group of peers offering support when needed ie. last minute babysitter, lending out a baking pan or sending over food after you have just had a baby. This group is for those expecting as well as those who already have kids. We are aimed at kids 0-6 but all are welcome. There are no fees but fundraisers (pub nights, Dine Outs and Group purchasing) will be held an …
