We are a therapeutic community that provides programs for people who are encountering barriers to education and employment. Our programs include Horticultural Therapy and Vocational Training. The Sisters of St. Ann own the beautiful 400-acre property that lies at the base of Mount Tzouhalem in the Cowichan Valley of Vancouver Island. Since 1979, the Vancouver Island Providence Community Association has leased the farm and developed innovative programs for the community. Today there are 14 full-time and part-time staff and over 120 participants that come up our driveway each week. A single guiding principle underlies our success - that caring for the land together is by nature healing and therapeutic.
