Welcome to Family Place – Victoria County

Within Victoria County, Family Place offers parents, caregivers, and children an opportunity to come together and share the joys and challenges of parenting.  We offer these programs and services from two office locations – North of Smokey in our New Haven office and South of Smokey from our Baddeck office.  Services are offered to parents and caregivers with children birth to 18 years.

One of the goals of the organization is to ensure that our programs and services are as accessible as possible.  We do this by offering programs throughout many of the communities within Victoria County.  As well, we work within our budgets to provide whatever support we can to help with child care and transportation costs.  All Family Place programs are free of charge.

Some of the services and programs offered include a whole variety of parent education programs, Play Groups, Read with Me, Tumble Bugs, Music and Movement, and home visiting programs.  Our home visiting programs support families with infants and very young children (Enhanced Home Visiting) as well as families having children up to the 18 years old (Parenting Journey Home Visiting).

During the course of the year we offer programs and services in communities such as Aspy Bay, Baddeck, Bay St. Lawrence, Big Baddeck, Big Bras d'Or, Black Rock, Bras d'Or, the Cape Breton Highland's National Park, Cape North, Christmas Island, Ingonish, Iona, Neil's Harbour, New Haven, St. Ann's and Tarbot.
