Resources
Have you talked to a Support Worker at Aunt Leah’s to find out if we can help you access a community service that best meets your needs? If you are already in one of our programs, talk to your Support Worker or Program Supervisor. For other youth, call our Link Transition Worker at 604-525-1204 ext 226.
You can also do an online search yourself - the best place to get information on Community Services is the RED BOOK ONLINE. http://redbookonline.bc211.ca
