Northern Interior Children First Initiative
The Northern Interior Children First Initiative is an innovative community directed initiative committed to strengthening and supporting children, youth and their families in Prince George, Quesnel, Mackenzie and The Robson and Canoe Valleys. The first six years of a child's life are critical. What happens during this time frame will have lifelong effects on their overall health, abilities, and social competencies. In addition to Early Childhood Initiatives, the Northern Interior Children First Initiative supports the Children and Youth with Special Needs Framework and Initiatives. Explaining the work, or activities, of the Northern Interior Children First Initiative is often challenging. Community development by its very nature is somewhat nebulous. Nonetheless, the work of the Northern Interior Children First Initiative should be understood as core to the healthy development of children, youth and their families. The goal of the Northern Interior Children First Initiative is to build upon the strengths of existing community resources in order to create an environment where children, youth and families can flourish in health, education and social development.
