Sea to Sky Children First is a province-wide learning initiative based upon a large body of research: the first six years of a child’s life are crucial for biological, psychological and social development. The human and economic costs of failing to make the most of these years are staggering.

This Community Partnership brings together those interested in improving the ability of communities to increase our understanding of what children aged 0-6 years need in order to develop properly and to improve services for them and their families.     

See the attached Recreation Program Guide or visit the Recreation page on our site.

The goal of the MCF is to "recognize and build on the strengths inherent in all children, youth and families, to understand their challenges and to support them — through a continuum of integrated programs and services — in reaching their unique potential within the context of their own culture and community".
