Meet the BoardOur Story
Serving our community since 1971
Community Services Council was certified as a registered charity by Revenue Canada in 1971 and was incorporated under the Society Act in March 1972. The initial vision at the time was to act as an “umbrella organization”, that would help reduce costs, and increase the effectiveness of the individual organization or group, by pooling resources and increasing cooperation and collaboration between and among the member organizations.
The 1980s and 1990s saw a rapid increase in the number and variety of services offered by CSC. The nature of the funding also changed from grants to contracts. As a result, the organization also underwent some significant changes. The advent of contracts limited the number of direct community referrals, as the various funding ministries began to make more referrals to the organization. Community Services Council gradually developed into a single entity that offered a variety of different but also related services to the communities of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. That is, it became a multi-service agency, with one Board of Directors, one Executive Director, and one management and decision-making structure.
With over 90 staff, 100 volunteers, 40 community partners, and 37 different programs, we have served over 23,000 people in our community this year.
