Who We Are

Since 1977, Oak Bay Volunteer Services has grown alongside the community we serve, evolving with changing needs and strengthening support through connection and practical action. Our beginnings were shaped by listening closely to what the community needed, and by people who recognized gaps in support and came together to create a lasting solution. Long before the term social prescribing was coined, OBVS was driven by the power of relationships and community-based solutions to support well-being. Built by a network of devoted, inspired, and solution-oriented people, this legacy continues to shape the culture of our organization and guide how we serve and grow forward.
