At our Gilley Residence in Burnaby, community isn't just something we talk about—it’s something we build together every single week.

Through the Connexion Social Club, residents and individuals with developmental differences across various group homes come together for Chair Zumba classes, lively potluck dinners, art workshops, and holiday celebrations. It’s a space where differences are celebrated, gifts are shared, and lasting friendships are forged.

Moments like these remind us that everyone brings something unique to the table, and everyone deserves a community where they are known by name.

Isolation can be quiet, but its impact is heavy—especially for adults with diverse abilities who often struggle to find spaces where they feel fully welcomed and celebrated.

To break down those walls, our Horizons team created "Café Fraserside"—a bi-weekly dance, social hour, and gathering space designed purely for joy, connection, and self-expression. It’s a space where music plays, friendships form naturally, and everyone belongs.

The results speak for themselves: participants reported an incredible 85% improvement in their mental health and overall happiness. It’s proof that simple, inclusive spaces don't just pass the time—they build confidence and community ties that last a lifetime.

Behind every compassionate moment on the frontlines is an unwavering foundation of operational excellence. Compassion inspires our mission, but rigorous structure, safety, and accountability ensure we can deliver on that promise every day.

This year, Fraserside is proud to have achieved a 3-Year CARF International Accreditation renewal.

This accreditation confirms that our operations meet the highest international standards for quality assurance, risk management, and ethical stewardship across all our housing, counselling, and community living programs. It means that when a family or individual turns to us, they are receiving world-class, accountable care.

When Arnold first walked through the doors at Peterson Place, he was exhausted. Weighing just 130 pounds, he was dealing with severe health challenges, unstable circumstances, and the physical toll of prolonged hardship.

Recovery didn't happen overnight, but stability gave Arnold the space he needed to heal. With a warm apartment to call his own, customized daily hot meals prepared by our chef, and steady, compassionate check-ins from staff, Arnold began to regain his health.

Step by step, his energy returned. Today, Arnold maintains a vibrant, healthy weight of 160 pounds—a tangible 30-pound transformation. More than that, he has found a home where he feels truly seen, valued, and cared for.

Arnold’s journey is a powerful testament to what happens when stable housing and nourishing care come together.

Community support isn't one-size-fits-all. To truly empower people, care must meet them where they live, surrounded by the neighborhoods they know and love.

Across our Community Living networks, Fraserside supports 139 individuals with diverse abilities, empowering them to live full, self-directed lives across New Westminster, Burnaby, and the Tri-Cities. Whether through dedicated home-share arrangements, inclusion networks, or specialized group homes, our care is personalized to the individual.

With 24/7 dedicated support staff, we make sure adults with complex health and developmental needs have every opportunity to participate in their local communities with independence and dignity.

Each year, our full-time Chef and his team at Peterson Place deliver nearly 60,000 warm meals right to our residents. Every plate handed over represents far more than physical nourishment—it’s an open door to trust, connection, and proactive care.

Every meal served is a chance to check in, share a friendly smile, and catch up on how someone is truly doing. Alongside thousands of annual wellness check-ins, these daily moments allow our team to notice subtle changes in physical health, offer immediate support, and build lasting relationships rooted in dignity.

"A hot meal nourishes the body, but it's the daily presence and care behind it that helps our residents feel safe, valued, and grounded."

There is a profound sense of pride that comes with putting on a uniform, mastering a new skill, and earning a paycheck.

At Fraserside, we know that vocational growth does so much more than teach a skill—it drives confidence, fosters independence, and creates deep community connection. Through our Mobile Work Crew (MWC), we empower individuals with diverse abilities through hands-on, supported commercial employment.

When you set high expectations and provide the right support, remarkable results follow. This past fiscal year, our crew outperformed every goal, managing 31 active commercial contracts—a 107% achievement rate against targets—while earning a flawless 100% customer satisfaction score from local business partners.

Equal opportunity isn't just a principle—it’s a catalyst for human potential.

Behind every door at our New Westminster Emergency Family Shelter is a family reclaiming their future.

In a crisis, a stable foundation and strong support can change everything that follows.

Last year, Fraserside walked alongside 24 families—74 people in total. With dedicated support, 81% of those families successfully moved from emergency shelter into stable housing situations.

But for every family we welcome, many more remain in need. The reality of our region’s housing crisis remains stark. Overwhelming demand forced us to turn away over 1,700 people last year, including more than 700 children.

At Fraserside, our vision is a community where every person achieves the stability, preserves dignity, and has the supporting agency to pursue meaningful opportunities. Opening a new foundation house in Surrey is our next step in making that vision a reality for every child and parent seeking safety.

A hand-painted cherry blossom display showcasing resident photos. Custom wall murals filled with color. Everyday spaces transformed into places of beauty, comfort, and pride.

At Mundy Residence, these thoughtful artistic touches are more than just decor—they reflect deep respect, individuality, and true belonging. When care is built on dignity and respect, stability becomes a catalyst for human potential.

Providing 24/7 care for adults with developmental disabilities across Burnaby and the Tri-Cities, our staff work every day to ensure that residential support feels like a true home.

This person-centered approach is at the heart of Fraserside’s mission: to provide a foundation of stability for individuals facing complex barriers, including developmental disabilities, mental health challenges, and housing insecurity. We envision a community where every person has the stability, support, and agency to navigate life’s challenges and pursue meaningful opportunities.
