For over 44 years, Haven Society has promoted the integrity and safety of women, children, youth, and families and the development of a respectful and healthy community in Central Vancouver Island. Last year, we offered emergency shelter and a continuum of services as well as violence prevention education and advocacy for 5,000 women, children, youth, and men.

Haven has a strong reputation in our community and in B.C. as a leading anti-violence organization and as a respected leader, trainer, and collaborator. Haven operates as part of a coordinated and collaborative partnership in the community's Positive Social Response to power-based and gender-based crimes.
