Island children and youth are invited to submit artwork

All submitted artwork will be displayed in an online gallery on our website, as well as randomly placed in one of our facilities for a minimum of one week: Westshore Child, Youth, and Family Centre; Sooke Child, Youth, and Family Centre; Jeneece Place, and Q̓ʷalayu House.
Twelve pieces will also be selected for our Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island 2025 wall calendar.
