Active BC Kids Community Engagement Sign Up Form

Welcome to the Active BC Kids Community Engagement sign up form! We are happy you are interested in this initiative and we look forward to hearing from you.

The Centre for Family Equity’s Active BC Kids Community Engagement is a community engagement initiative in partnership with the BC Healthy Living Alliance. We are carrying out community engagement with equity-seeking families in BC to discover opportunities to create more inclusive physical activities for their children and youth. The engagement is open to all parents and caregivers of all genders and diverse identities who qualify for participation.

This engagement has a particular focus on Metro Vancouver and BC’s Northern region. An in-person focus group was held in Prince George in early September, and there is one in-person focus group in East Vancouver coming up in October. If you live in a rural or remote location where a focus group is not being held we offer a on-one Zoom interview booked with staff at a time convenient for you. Thank you for letting us know your location and what kind of engagement you wish for below and the appropriate sign-up options will appear for you in this form.

Further Details:

All data is collected and stored anonymously.
$75 honoraria will be distributed to all those who complete a full engagement.

Honoraria will be distributed via etransfer within 48 hours following a focus group.
To receive an etransfer you will need to provide an email address.
A Transportation Stipend will be provided to those who attend in-person sessions.
Child Care Allowance from the CFE is available for those with children under the age of 13 who require child care support to access an in-person or online session.
