As part of its commitment under the Provincial Domestic Violence Plan, the B.C. government is investing $500,000 to increase access to transition house and safe-home services for Aboriginal women and children who are affected by domestic violence.

Perseverance, strength and resilience - these are the traits of B.C.'s children and youth in care.

Government is providing $315,000 to support the establishment of a mentorship program for 16-to 24-year-olds that will be delivered through Covenant House Vancouver.

Parents of young children in Kitimat now have access to a range of early learning, health and family services in one convenient location.

The B.C. government and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities released the Community Poverty Reduction Pilot Projects 2014 Progress Report.

I'd like to address a common misconception regarding the way in which we support youth as they transition out of government care.

For many children and youth in government care, the thought of going to university may seem like little more than a pipe dream. But it's a dream that Thomas Murtland made a reality, and now he wants to mentor other young people so that they too can experience the rewards of a post-secondary education.

Young people formerly in government care will be given a chance to help current children and youth in care through a new internship program with the Ministry of Children and Family Development.
