What We do
Senior Programs & Services
With a heartwarming commitment to enhancing the lives of older adults, we provide a comprehensive range of programs tailored to meet their unique needs. From health and wellness initiatives that foster vitality to engaging social activities that combat isolation, our services are designed to ensure our seniors thrive with dignity and joy.
In partnership with New Horizons for Seniors Programs, we have been hosting seminars on different issues affecting the lives of seniors, creating inclusive activities, and fostering mentor-mentee relationships by seniors for seniors too for years.
Women & Girls Programs and Services
We provide a nurturing and supportive environment that uplifts women from all walks of life. Our comprehensive range of women’s services includes educational programs, career development workshops, and counseling support. From fostering financial independence to promoting physical and mental well-being, we stand beside women on their journey to self-discovery and success.
In partnership with Women and Gender Equality Canada and others, we have initiated seminars and educational workshops against gender-based violence and striving to reduce gender-based violence in the community.
Youth Programs & Services
We are passionate about empowering the next generation to dream big and achieve their goals. Our diverse range of youth programs through BIES’ Youth Council provides a nurturing platform for personal growth, academic excellence, and skill development.
From mentorship programs that inspire leadership to creative workshops that spark innovation, we are dedicated to shaping confident and compassionate leaders of tomorrow. Through art and photo competitions we strive to enlist youth involvement within the community.

Testimonials
BIES has been a very helpful organization since the day I first joined. I have participated as a youth volunteer in their virtual Youth Council. I found it to be very helpful and engaging
As an immigrant, learning the language and customs of Canada has been difficult. I contacted BIES through their Facebook group. They helped me to network with people and receive information about COVID 19 and mental health support. I appreciate their hard work.
