HISTORY OF CARING

Since 1980, the Central Okanagan Emergency Shelter Society (operated as the
Kelowna Women’s Shelter) has offered safe emergency accommodation and essentials
such as food, clothing and toiletries for women and their children who have
experienced domestic abuse. Serving women in need from Oyama to Peachland, we
also provide, at no cost:
- Ongoing individual and group domestic abuse support
- Planning and transportation assistance
- Advocacy and outreach
- Preventive education programs for both women and children. 

All Kelowna Women’s Shelter services, programs, and supports are free,
confidential and available 24/7. The Shelter is a member of the British Columbia
Society of Transition Houses, Ending Violence Association of British Columbia,
Shelter Net BC, and Women's Shelters Canada. Read our full list of programs and
services, and you can learn more about how you can help.




OUR MISSION

Helping women and children live in safe
and equitable communities free from abuse.


OUR VISION

Break the cycle of Domestic Abuse.


CORE VALUES


FEMINIST / WOMEN-CENTRED

We acknowledge that women and those who self-identify as women have lived
different experiences, and we understand that systemic inequality exists. We
practice from principles based on equity and equality to counter the impacts of
oppression and control.


EXCELLENCE

Committed to researching and delivering evidence-based programs and practices to
support staff and help reduce women’s vulnerability.


COLLABORATIVE

We share knowledge, foster positive relationships, and seek input and
contributions from internal and external partners.


EMPOWERMENT

We believe women are the experts in their own lives and should have control over
all of the decisions which impact them. We do not impose actions on women, but
strive to provide choice and encouragement.


SAFETY

Safety is the fundamental principle of the work we do, and it informs every
decision we make. We strive to ensure women and children feel emotionally and
physically safe during their stay with us.


INTEGRITY

We are leaders in the fight to end domestic abuse by demonstrating consistency
between our actions, values, and practices.
