Counselling Services

We are pleased to offer Counselling Services to our clients with our on-site Family Counsellor, Ann Burns.  Call 604.885.4088 or use our contact form to book a confidential appointment.

Access Justice Pro Bono Legal Clinic

At the Community Resource Centre we host 2 – 4 Pro Bono Legal Clinics per month. Each Clinic has space for 4 clients for half-hour sessions. The number of clinics we run depends on the availability of our volunteer lawyers. Our pro bono lawyers give advice and help clients do the necessary work. They will prepare you to go into court, help you gain a winning attitude (with emphasis on preparation) and take the fear out of the legal process.

To ensure the success of these clinics our staff will take your call and arrange an initial meeting to ensure clients are prepared for their meeting and are assigned to the appropriate volunteer lawyers.  Following this meeting a half-hour appointment will be booked for the next available Pro Bono Legal Clinic.

Call 604.885.4088 or use our contact form to book an appointment if you meet the requirements above. You need to book well in advance since our clinics fill up quickly.

One-on–One Computer Assistance – Book By Appointment

As a result of another partnership, computer training and mentoring has been taken over by the Senior's Centre, using computers purchased for the purpose by the CRC. The income tax and form-filing programs are also handled by a skilled team at the Senior's Centre.

Financial Literacy Courses and Skill Development

Education

Education is a key principle of the cooperative system and another way that we give back to the communities we serve. Sunshine Coast Credit Union is pleased to announce the launch of a new four-week adult education program dedicated to increasing attendee’s financial knowledge and money management skills.

Money Skills Financial Literacy Program was created in partnership with Sunshine Coast Community Resource Centre, Sunshine Coast Community Services Society and Family Services of Greater Vancouver and fills a need on the Sunshine Coast for those seeking the skills and information necessary to make the most of their financial decisions.

The complimentary program takes place over four weeks (one two-hour session per week) in Gibsons, Sechelt and Pender Harbour. Attendees will learn more about budgeting, banking, credit and consumerism.
