Since its inception in 1974, the Victoria Women's Transition House Society has grown from a small collective running a drop-in centre to an organization with five facilities, over 50 staff and close to 70 volunteers. The Victoria Women's Transition House Society was born from the Victoria Women's Centre. This organization grew out of the objectives of the University of Victoria Women's Caucus and the Status of Women Action Group. The Women's Centre was planned and initiated by a group of six women, with funding from a federal grant. From May 1971 until September 1972, a drop-in, referral and resource centre was operated for the Victoria community. The first emergency shelter opened in 1974 and was located in an older home which eventually became much too small and in need of repair to meet the needs of women leaving abusive relationships. In September 1991, after several years of intensive fundraising which included generous donations from service, church and community groups, as well as funding from GO BC Lottery Funds, various Foundations and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, a new $500,000 facility was opened.

Orthomolecular Vitamin Information Centre?The Orthomolecular Vitamin Information Centre was featured in the April 2006 issue of Focus magazine. Click here to view the article.The mission of the Centre is to provide accurate, unbiased information in a non medical setting the properties and uses of vitamins. Our approach is to educate our clients in the ways that nutrition may be helpful in building and maintaining wellness and in helping the body to normalize itself, regardless of what they have been diagnosed by their medical practitioners. We assess nutritional imbalances, taking into consideration clients' general health, level of stress and medical history. Any condition (or just living) exerts stress on the body, and each person reacts differently, so a program for wellness must take into consideration the individual, their genetics, lifestyle, history, and so on. We don't advocate a 'cookie cutter' approach to wellness, and the kind of nutrition and supplementation that may be appropriate for one person, may not be the right approach for another person with similar issues.
