This is Seabird Island First Nation located in the upper Fraser Valley, three kilometers northeast of the town of Agassiz, British Columbia. The English designation of Seabird Island is derived from the June 1858 grounding of the transport paddle wheeler Sea Bird, on an island, in the Fraser River, across from Sq'éwqel. Halq'emeylem for turn in the river , Sq'éwqel is referred to by Indian Reserve Commissioner (1878 - 1880) Gilbert M Sproat as Skow-a-kull in his allocation statement and accompanying sketch of Seabird Island. Sq'éwqel identified a village located at the northern tip of Seabird Island, across the river from Skw'átits or what is contemporarily known as Peter's Reserve. In June 1879, G. M. Sproat, Indian Reserve Commissioner, in consultation with interested First Nations people, allocated the island called Skow-a-kull as a reserve to be held in common by the people from Popkum, Skw'átits, Ohamil, Ska-wah-look, Hope, Union Bar and Yale. In 1958, Seabird Island was designated an independent band. Seabird Island Band exists to promote a healthier, self-sufficient, self-governing, unified and educated community. We believe that a healthy community is one that has achieved physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and cultural balance. Seabird Island Band will accomplish this mission with the energy of our youth, the wisdom of our Elders, the strength of our families, the vision and determination of our political leaders, the guidance of our spiritual and cultural leaders and the contributions of our staff members. Seabird Island continues to move forward in a good way. With community acceptance of the Land Code initiative in 2009, management of reserve lands and resources is now within our jurisdiction. In addition, as a signatory to the Education Jurisdiction Framework Agreement.development.
Preschool and daycare all in one… that's what we offer at Chiliwack's Tadpole Academy Child Care & Learning Centre. We are a group childcare facility that provides families with a safe, loving and caring place to learn and grow for children ages 3 months to 3 years.
At A is For Apple Daycare Centre we strongly believe that it should be the goal of every early childhood centre, whether it is family child care, pre school or a daycare centre, to provide the highest quality care for young children. It can be overwhelming to find a child care service that meets your specific needs. That is why the staff at A is For Apple Daycare Centre will work with you to develop a care plan that meets your specific child care needs. Quality care can be achieved through a combination of education, experience, learning attitude and a love for children. The education of our young ones is especially important in today's rapidly changing society. While most parents would like to be home with their children enjoying these new experiences, it is the unfortunate circumstance of today's society that forces the increasing need for daycare. This is the reason it is so important for our children to have the opportunity to experience only the highest quality care. At A is For Apple Daycare Centre our educators take their profession seriously and are dedicated to the children and families that are a part of the centre. A is For Apple has been in business since 2004 having started as a small family child care. With the growing needs of the families for quality child care the business was expanded as a group centre in 2008.
The Briar Patch Child Care Centre in Chilliwack was established in 1995 and has been growing ever since. We began with a 3-5 year old group center and have expanded, on 3 separate occasions, to include before and after school care, infant/toddler care and an older toddler program. Expansions were done due to parent's requests for continuing care for their growing families and changing child care needs. Parents trust us as we have been able to provide superior childcare to Chilliwack residents.
