Supporting Island families close to home

Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island has a rich history dating back to 1927. The Solarium for Crippled Children opened in Mill Bay, which moved to Arbutus Road in 1958 and is now known as the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health. The Foundation continues to fund services at this centre, and since 2004 has owned and operated the West Shore and Sooke Child, Youth, and Family Centres.
