  Fraser Health Authority
  The Fraser Health Authority offers services that span from hospital care to residential home health, mental health, and public health services. We were able to get additional nursing help through them when our father, and later our mother, became ill with terminal cancer. The same nurse came into our home for both our parents—she was lovely, understanding and kind. They also have a number of services available for family members including grief and bereavement counselling, and useful information when you or a loved one are dealing with a life threatening or life limiting illness. They do require a referral, after which they complete an intake assessment to determine the appropriate care needs.

• Lifestyle

  BC Farmers Markets
  If you are interested in eating local, we recommend checking out some of the farmers markets in your area and surrounding cities. It can offer a great outing for a Saturday morning or afternoon, wandering through the different booths and talking to the vendors.

Everything is super tasty and leaves you feeling well nourished… did we mention they will deliver too?

We’ve used her services for almost 5 years and have found Lisa to be caring, friendly and dependable (plus it’s immediately apparent she LOVES animals).

• Charities We Support

  Colon Cancer Canada
  We became interested in this charity after both our parents were diagnosed with colon cancer. This is a national organization whose mission is to increase public awareness of colorectal cancer (which is one of the most preventable cancers, if screened and caught early) and to increase access to preventative measures, such as screening, so that lives can be saved. They also offer funding to research initiatives and provide colon cancer patient support. Every summer they have an annual “Push for Your Tush” walk/run event in Vancouver and a few other cities across Canada.

  Langley Hospice Society
  This society provides people in the community with a number of helpful programs including bereavement support, hospice palliative care, and children, teen, and adult support programs. Having gone through the terminal illness of both our parents (one in hospital and one at home), we know that having a network you can rely on and get support from is important. They also have a number of brochures and useful information on their website with advice and tips when dealing with the impending death and after effects of losing of a loved one.

  Canadian Diabetes Association
  We support this association as we have friends and loved ones that have been diagnosed with this disease. The association’s mission is to lead the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives, while they work towards finding a cure. Funds go towards offering education and services to people with diabetes, supporting research, and translating research into practical applications.

  LAPS
  Animals need and deserve love, lots of pets and a safe haven to rest their heads each night. Every year the Langley Animal Protection Society finds new homes for the many animals brought to their shelter. Through LAPS, we were lucky enough to rescue our cat, Mira, and bring her to her “forever home” with us. The hours of joy and affection she has given make us truly grateful for the dedication and work of the volunteers at the different shelters across BC and the nation—without them, Mira and countless other animals would have been left abandoned and we would not know the happiness of having them in our homes.
