West Side Family Place

West Side Family Place Since 1973 WSFP has provided a welcoming gathering place for parents, caregivers and children in the community to meet, learn, and grow together.

We would like to acknowledge that we at West Side Family Place are growing and learning as a community on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, in this place commonly known as Vancouver, BC. As guests, we honour the land, water, animals, and the continued efforts of the Indigenous people working to protect them.
