Victoria Westshore

About Our Place Society Westshore

On February 22nd, 2020 join us for Canada's National Walk for Homelessness. Our Place serves Greater Victoria’s most vulnerable: working poor, impoverished elderly, mentally and physically challenged, addicted and the homeless.

We will be walking downtown and we are excited to announce our partnership with Pacific Centre Family Services Association for the walk in the Westshore! For 51yrs, PCFSA has been providing professional counselling and creative programs in the Westshore. PCFSA delivers these vital services to persons aged 4 – 99. They promote dignity and quality of life for families and individuals.

Coldest Night of the Year is a family-friendly walk that raises awareness and money for charities serving hungry, homeless, and hurting people in our community. Gather or join a team of friends, family, workmates or congregation together and as a community, lets walk, spread awareness and provide a sense of hope, love and belonging to our neighbours in need.
