January Newsletter

Saanich Neighbourhood Place

A word from our Executive Directior:

Welcome back and Happy 2020 to all our SNP Families! Already, the new year has been a bit of an adventure, what with a record snowfall - reported as 50 consecutive hours as of January 15th! 

In our Tillicum location, we returned to programs on January 6th with the last of the flood damage taken care of, and the new hallway floor installed at last. With this completed, the Island Health Immunization Clinic will be underway again beginning on Wednesday the 22nd. 

We have made a change in our Drop-In schedule as well, and will no longer be open on Wednesday mornings for Drop-In playgroup at Tillicum, but we do have two other playgroups at this time, in our Royal Oak Neighbourhood House location and at St.Aidan’s Church in the Gordon Head/Shelbourne area. Tuesday and Thursday Drop-In sessions are still happening at Tillicum. 

Tina’s Community Kitchen’s are all planned, so be sure to sign up for the ones you’re interested in before they fill up. You’ll take home several meals each time, and have fun cooking as well!

Winter parenting programs and workshops are also beginning soon, so please watch for these on our calendar. We’ve made a bit of a change here, with different times and schedules, to accommodate working parents and those who aren’t always free during the days to attend workshops. 

As always, we work to provide services, programs, and resources that are helpful to you and your families. Please feel free to connect with us with any questions, concerns or suggestions as we continue to serve the children, youth and families of Saanich.

Parent Information Session
Enhancing the Parent-Child Relationship

Many things can get in the way of our relationship with our children. Stress, behavioural challenges, developmental concerns, and unexpected events can all impact our ability to connect and respond in the ways that we would like. In this session, we will highlight ways that parents can refocus on the parent-child relationship to promote healthier and happier children.

Hear from Child & Youth Mental Health professionals about Enhancing the Parent-Child Relationship.
