Awahsuk Aboriginal Head Start

The Aboriginal Head Start Association of BC is made up of representatives from each AHSUNC site in BC and was born in the spring of 1998, evolving in December 2001 to an incorporated non-profit society. AHSABC is the only federally funded Provincial AHSUNC Support Project in Canada. Today, our AHSABC membership consists of Program Coordinators as well as elected Parent and Elder Representatives from each AHSUNC site in BC. The Coordinators make up the Board of Directors (listed below), along with our Provincial Parent Advisor and two Provincial Elder Advisors. In BC, our AHS Village includes 12 AHSUNC (AHS Urban and Northern Communities) Preschools and 11 AHS Child Care Programs through the Growing AHS Provincial Initiative. Our AHSABC Team includes: Executive Director, Communications Coordinator, Administrative Coordinator, Provincial Program Manager, Provincial Program Advisor and Training Coordinator and National AHS Council and Projects Coordinator.
