Xyólheméylh is a Halq’emeylem word that describes the specific relationship between someone who requires care and someone who provides care. It describes our organization and is a realtionship based on Caring, Respect, and Love. Our programs and services are created and executed with a special attention on strengthening culture and identity. We focus on keeping families together, reintegrating children back with their families, and discovering and strengthening cultural connections.

FVACFSS is a non-profit service delivery organization incorporated under the Societies Act and governed by a Board of Directors comprised of nine individuals elected by members of our Stakeholder communities. Due to this, we are a public society, and you can become a member if you are an aboriginal person over the ages 18 and live on a reserve within our geographic service area.
