About Us

Boundary Integrated Services Model

Vision and Philosophy

In October 2001, the Boundary Integrated Services (BISM) partners, School District # 51, Boundary Family and Individual Services Society, the Ministry of Children and Family Development and Public Health Nursing began a journey that dramatically changed our ways of interacting both within our organizations and within our community. We dreamed of an education-based model where as community partners we would collocate, integrate, and deliver key services to Boundary Families, all the while sharing our strengths and our challenges. We turned our dream into a reality and created Boundary Family Centres which are located at school sites throughout the Boundary area.

We have completed Phase One of integration of the early years services and are excited to be entering Phase Two in 2007.

We are creating a community driven child, youth and family serving system that works within an asset development approach in which we value and encourage the growth of capacities, within our citizens, our organizations and our community.
