Super current

Draw for 15 new car seats!!

Do you need, or do you know a young parent who needs a car seat?

Thanks to the BCAA Road Safety Foundation and the United Way of the Lower Mainland's Community Child Car Seat Program, we have 15 in all to distribute to families!!!

Send Robin a message (Robin@ypsn.ca)to let her know that you are interested, and how a FREE, new car seat could make a difference for your family, and she will enter you into the draw. Names will be pulled at 3pm on Wednesday, October 9th (one week from today!)

We have four 4 – 35 lbs car seats, three Convertible Carseats (from 5 – 40 lbs and forward facing from 22 – 65 lbs), and eight Big Kid Boosters (40 - 110 lbs).

So many thanks to the BCAA Road Safety Foundation and the United Way of the Lower Mainland's Community Child Car Seat Program!!!

Meet Lucy!

Meet Lucy! We've been lucky enough to have Lucy as part of our community for the past few months. Learn a bit about her here:

Tell us 3 things about you, the first 3 things that come to mind

1. I’m from Australia, (don’t be fooled – I am hopeless at surfing!).
2. I have a bit of an obsession with animals. I can’t walk past a dog or a cat without stopping to pat it, no matter how much of a hurry I’m in.
3. I love traveling to foreign places, appreciating natural beauty and meeting new people. I believe that we can learn something new from everyone we meet.

How did you first become involved with YPSN?

I study Elementary Teaching, and I decided to take a social science course as an elective because it required me to do a placement with a non-profit organization. I applied to YPSN because it gave me an opportunity to work with children and families.

What is your role now?
