Making the economic case for community social services

We know timely support saves lives and money. It’s much less costly to provide community services to help a senior stay in his or her home, for example, than it is to provide residential care.
But there are broader benefits. British Columbia competes in a global economy. And it can’t afford to waste the potential of any citizen.
“We help people and thus the province reach their full potential.  The next Tommy Douglas could be struggling with addiction; the child who could grow up to discover a cancer breakthrough could be facing serious family problems that mean she won’t succeed in school.  Our job is to help them live happy, fulfilling lives.  And as a result, everyone benefits.”
Please,get the word out before election day. Visit the Take Action! section to see how you can support the sector, and ensure a brighter future for families, individuals and the province.
