In 2007, Maclean's magazine called North Central Regina "Canada's Worst Neighbourhood"... At the Rainbow Youth Centre, we didn't believe that... more importantly, we didn't much care what Maclean's thought. The label doesn't matter. What counts is what we can do to make things better. For more than a quarter century, Rainbow has been working with the young people of North Central. From humble beginnings with 3 staff working from rented space in an abandoned creamery building, Rainbow now has more 3 dozen workers and owns its own building; a former church located across from a playground in the heart of North Central. Five major program areas: YouthCARE, Young Parent Program, Road to Employment, Youth Skills and Kids First provide programs at the Centre and in the community. The programs have grown to satisfy needs or to deal with problems in the community.
REACH is a community health centre that has been located on the east side of Vancouver since 1969. We became incorporated as a non-profit society in 1970 with a Board of Directors comprised primarily of community members and patients of the clinic. Since its inception, REACH has endeavored to meet the medical, dental, and cultural needs of the community with an emphasis on prevention and the development of programs which reflect the ongoing needs of the ever changing composition of the community. We are committed to reducing health inequities. The community of which REACH is a part is a richly diversified ethnic setting in the area known as Grandview Woodlands. REACH has a strong commitment to community development and works to build a collaborative relationship with users of the clinic. There is an equally strong commitment on behalf of the staff to illustrate an openness and acceptance of the ethnic, cultural and social diversity which is found in our community.
