A family caregiver is anyone who provides care and support for an adult family member or friend who is chronically ill, frail, elderly or has a disability. Many family caregivers feel providing a better quality of life for their family member or friend is their most important responsibility in life.



We are a not-for-profit society whose mission is to inform, support and educate on issues of concern to family caregivers of adults in the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. FCNS is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees, 60% of whom are or have been family caregivers themselves. FCNS promotes the significance of the family caregiver's role and contribution in the healthcare system.
