It's Barbecue time at BeConnected!🌭🌭🌭

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Janice Attwell.

Janice was an accomplished artist, a loyal friend, and deeply loved by many. She was a determined self‑advocate, one of the original members of SABF, and a dedicated community volunteer at Rainbow Kitchen. She found great joy in painting, listening to music, and being a social butterfly—often hosting joyful gatherings in her home.

Janice passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family.

We extend our sincere sympathies to her family and to all who knew and loved her.

It’s that time again! We are accepting donations for BeConnected’s Annual Spring Food Drive at our Victoria and Duncan office locations, and the Douglas Street Launchpad program🥫🥫🥫

This week we’re celebrating Social Work Week (March 8–14, 2026) and the amazing social workers we work with every day.

Social work isn’t easy. It takes compassion, resilience, and a strong commitment to supporting individuals, families, and communities through some of life’s toughest moments. We see that dedication firsthand, and we’re so grateful for the care, advocacy, and collaboration social workers bring to the people we support.

This year’s theme, “Social Work: Here to Stay!”, highlights the lasting impact social workers have in strengthening communities, promoting social justice, and uplifting the dignity and self-worth of people across BC.

At BeConnected Support Services, we want to say thank you to the social workers who continue to advocate, guide, and stand beside those who need support. Your work truly makes a difference. 💜
