The Quesnel Shelter and Support Society was formed by a group of concerned community members who began to meet in November of 2006. Their vision was not only to provide a safe environment that would offer warmth and shelter for men, women, youth and families who are at risk of homelessness or who are homeless, but to also provide support and resources to facilitate personal development and improve their quality of life. The Quesnel Shelter and Support Society was formed and Seasons House opened its doors on May 12, 2008. Since then Seasons House has provided shelter, nourishment and support to hundreds of people. Through the funding support of BC Housing, the Northern Health Authority, financial contributions from local businesses and individuals, as well as our many community partnerships, the Society currently operate a Transitional Housing Program, Emergency Shelter Program, Homelessness Prevention Program, a Day Program with various health supports, and a Supportive Recovery Program.

The Quesnel Shelter and Support Society is a non-profit society and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The Society advocates for and provides minimal-barrier housing and support services to those in the Quesnel region who are destitute or low-income and who face barriers to housing for a variety of reasons, including mental illness, substance use, racism, or abusive family situations.
