Bayers Westwood Mission Statement

Bayers Westwood Family Resource Centre is a non-profit community based agency established in 1991, with a programming focus on families with children aged birth to six years. We seek to create a secure, supportive, learning environment for members of Bayers Westwood and surrounding areas. We provide an opportunity to share, build confidence and trust while working together to create a stronger healthier community.


All programs and service are provided at no charge, and we provide child care.
