Our History
AiMHi has been a leader in providing Community Living Services in Prince George for over 65 years. We are proud to support all members of our community in living their best lives.
ONE COMMUNITY
ONE VISION
AiMHi – the Prince George Association for Community Living – was formed by a group of concerned parents in 1957 who envisioned “Community Living” for their children.
This vision included:
- a desire to have their children taught within a public school system,
- a facility that provides respite services for their children,
- having their family members returned from institutions to neighbourhoods in their family’s community,
- daytime activities for their adult children to ensure they felt like valued and contributing members of society,
and finally,
- services that provide safe and knowledgeable care.
Throughout the ensuing decades, AiMHi has aspired to meet these visions. We have grown and developed into what we are today – a non-profit agency funded by Community Living British Columbia and the Ministry of Children and Family Development.
AiMHi provides a wide range of services to children, youth, adults, and families. These services include:
Family Support Services
(which includes Infant Development and Child/Youth Respite options)
