We provide programs and services for people of all ages across the North Shore.
Capilano Community Services has been building community since 1970. We are committed to minimizing potential barriers to participation by offering no-cost and low-cost social programs and support services via outreach and onsite at Lions Gate Community Recreation Centre.
Our programs appeal to people of all ages who want to have fun, stay active, learn together and feel supported by and connected to their community.
Our Programs and Services
Family & Children’s Program
Our Family and Children’s Program supports families with children aged newborn to 5 years old, offering social and educational activities to give children the best start in life. Additionally, we offer parenting support workshops facilitated by knowledgeable experts, along with access to community resources and referrals.
Youth Program
Our drop-in and registered programs are designed for youth in varying age groups, between 12 years and 24 years of age. We offer a wide variety of fun and engaging social activities that promote social and emotional learning and resiliency.
Our Youth Outreach Workers also offer one-to-one support for youth, intervention, and risk assessments, and refer clients to other professional services when the issues are complex.

Seniors Programs
For ages 55 and up, we offer grocery shopping trips on our minibus, music, cooking, art, social teas, book club, and many other programs. We also operate My Lions Gate BREAK, a day-program for those experiencing the early stages of dementia.
These programs, together with our support services, help to build social connections, maintain friendships, and promote active living - assisting seniors to live in their homes longer.
