Resources, resources. Today's resource is: The Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland. They can be reached at 604-873-4525 and extension 300 is where you can reach the friendly Jordana who told me about some of their programs.
Their website www.bigsisters.bc.ca has lots of details about becoming a Big Sister, and also about Little Sisters. It was news to me that to be a Little Sister, the family does not have to be headed by a single parent. Little Sisters may be able to be matched with a Sister of similar heritage, but this is not always possible. However, there are First Nations activities for Big and Little Sisters that they can participate in.
Their website states:
Big Sisters' Initiatives
The First Nations Initiative celebrates First Nations culture and encourages awareness, understanding and appreciation of our First Nations culture amonst our Big & Little Sisters. Past First Nations activities have included: bannock making, canoeing, First Nations role model panels, workshops on how to make medicine pouches and mini button blankets, and drumming circles. We also welcome First Nations women to become mentors in our Big & Little Sister Program or our Study Buddy Program.
to become a Big Sister, or to ask about your child becoming a Little Sister, you can email them at: info@bigsisters.bc.ca
