Big Brothers of Victoria has been creating friendships since 1969 and Big Sisters came to the region in 1970. The two groups set a national precedent by amalgamating in 1977.Later partnered as the only two amalgamated BBBS agencies in Canada, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Victoria and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dartmouth/Halifax, were advocates at both the provincial and national levels for a process to allow for combined Big Brothers and Big Sisters agencies.During the late 1970's until today, the amalgamation of agencies has continued.
