Family Advisory Committee

THE RMCDC Family Advisory Committee (FAC) consists of family members of children who currently receive or formerly received services from RMCDC.  All FAC participants are RMCDC members and currently reside in Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows.  The FAC has input and influence on policies, programs, and practices at the Centre.  Members participate in various activities, including: program evaluation, sitting on hiring committees, reviewing written and audiovisual materials, participating in task forces, reviewing grant proposals, co-facilitating staff training sessions, developing parent programs and advocating for services for families.

RMCDC provides support to FAC members by providing a staff liaison member and offering: training and educational opportunities, secretarial support, reimbursement for child care, mileage, and related expenses.

Members must have children who receive or have received services from the Centre and must reside in Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows.  If you  might be interested or if you know of someone who you think would be a valuable member of the committee, please contact a Family Support Worker at 604-463-0881, extension 319.
