CSRF supporting organizations in Langley City

September 6, 2023 – British Columbia

Community service organizations are at the forefront of addressing community needs. During the pandemic, many of these vital organizations struggled with increased demand for their services, reduced revenues, declines in charitable giving and a greater reliance on digital tools. Their post-pandemic recovery is key to their continued ability to offer services and adapt to the changing needs of communities across Canada.

Today, John Aldag, Member of Parliament for Cloverdale – Langley City, on behalf of the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, Jenna Sudds, announced that Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley, Lower Fraser Valley Aboriginal Society, Langley Senior Resources Society, and Langley Lodge will receive funding through the Community Services Recovery Fund.

For its project, “Archival Digitization”, Big Brothers Big Sisters Langley has been allocated $45,400. Lower Fraser Valley Aboriginal Society’s Iyáqt ("to transform" in Halq'eméylem) Project has been awarded $99,886. $72,240 will be going to Langley Senior Resources Society for the “Recruiting and Retaining Volunteers in the 21st Century” project. Langley Lodge will receive $30,000 for its “Systems Enhancement” project. These amounts are included in the $368,446 distributed to organizations across Cloverdale – Langley City.

The Community Services Recovery Fund will help community service organizations adapt, modernize, and be better equipped to improve the efficacy, accessibility, and sustainability of the community services that they provide. Whether the funded projects focus on recruitment and retention, modernizing organizational systems and processes, or innovating program delivery, the Community Services Recovery Fund reflects the Government’s commitment to invest in this sector, so that community service organizations can continue to support communities across Canada.

“These service organizations are the backbones of our communities, providing real-time help to residents in need. Through the Community Services Recovery Fund, the Government of Canada is providing these community service organizations with the support they need to uplift residents at the local level. I look forward to seeing the positive changes brought about by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley, Lower Fraser Valley Aboriginal Society, Langley Senior Resources Society, and Langley Lodge that will be made possible by this funding.”
