WHO WE ARE:

Over the years, we have grown into 4 broad streams of services:
· Domestic Violence

· Homelessness
Our Vision Statement says it all:
Cedar Strong envisions a community that is free from trauma and systemic societal challenges a community that has vibrant individuals and families who are resilient and have a sense of belonging, acceptance and connectedness to self, family, the community and society.
As a result of the growth and development of the agency, Cedar Strong is the largest non-profit in the Fraser-East.
