About Britannia Woods Community House Inc.

BWCH is a community-based agency that opened its doors in 1976 to ensure the families living in the Britannia Woods neighborhood and surrounding areas have access to the social, educational, economic and recreational supports they need to maintain optimal well-being.

We focus on providing responsive programs and services for children, youth and families who live in fixed & low-income communities, through an equitable and strength-based lens. We offer a wide range of wraparound programs and support to individuals and families navigating inequities in a culturally responsive and holistic manner. We exist to ensure residents in the immediate Britannia Woods Programs are community-driven and delivered within the community across four areas of focus.

Community Development and Advocacy offers drop-in services and community action supports.

Child & Youth Development offers recreational and educational activities to support youth development.

• Mental Health & Wellbeing offers culturally informed mental health and advocacy services.

Food Security programs offer culturally responsive food distribution and capacity building.

In addition, our Community House is one of 15 Community Houses working with the Ottawa Coalition of Community Houses. The mission of the Community Houses within the Ottawa Coalition of Community Houses is to build strong communities, improve the quality of life of multicultural diverse individuals, children, youth, and families living in poverty in low-income social housing neighbourhoods across the City of Ottawa.
