P.I.B. SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY

Children have always been at the heart of our culture and our communties. Taking care of our children has been the primary foundation of ensuring the survival of the customs and traditions of our ancestors. Children are our future, they are the mothers, fathers and leaders of our who we are to become. It is our job and our responsibility to provide positive learning environments, healthy lifestyles and opportunites for growth and development.
The Penticton Indian Band Social Development department aids and supports the programs and services which ensure, encourage and establish the positive growth of PIB and on-reserve children. It is our wish to see that all families have access to the local (on and off reserve) resources which provide childhood and early childhood development programs. Programs which help children with their social, physical, cognitive, emotional and cultural skills. Programs which also support low income families and individuals in attaining safe living environments, healthy lifestyles and positive changes in their every day lives. In addition, PIBSD provides the necessary services which provide support when the community needs support, assistance when the community needs assistance and intervention when the community needs intervention.
