About Us

Big Heart Homes Inc.

At Big Heart Homes Inc., we believe that every child and family deserves the opportunity to grow, heal, and thrive. We are more than just a group home — we are a family of caregivers, mentors, and community members who share a deep commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of youth.

We provide a safe, nurturing, and culturally connected environment where children and families can find support, stability, and hope. Our approach is rooted in compassion, respect, and inclusion — ensuring that every young person we serve feels valued and understood.

Our Mission

All youth and families will be given equal opportunity to succeed.

We strive to empower youth to reach their fullest potential by providing guidance, structure, and unconditional support in a home that feels like family.

Our Vision

We provide culturally responsive services in a warm, caring environment to youth and families.

By embracing diversity and honouring culture, we help youth build confidence in who they are — while preparing them for who they can become.

Our Way

Through professional, traditional, and cultural values, we are devoted to creating a welcoming, reassuring, and inspiring environment that nurtures belonging, mastery, generosity, and independence for our children, youth, families, and employees.

We believe growth happens when people feel connected, supported, and seen — and our homes reflect those values in every interaction, meal, and moment shared.

Our Programs & Services

Our programs are designed to meet the unique needs of each youth and family, offering both structure and flexibility to promote stability and growth.

Group Care

Our family-style group homes provide a safe, stable, and nurturing space where youth receive consistent care, guidance, and encouragement.

We focus on helping each young person build life skills, emotional resilience, and a sense of belonging — all within a supportive and culturally aware environment.

Stabilization and Assessment

For youth who may be experiencing transition or crisis, our stabilization and assessment program provides short-term, intensive support.

Our trained team works closely with caseworkers and families to identify each child’s strengths, needs, and goals — helping set the foundation for long-term success.

Sibling Care Homes

We believe siblings should stay together whenever possible.

Our sibling care homes provide a loving environment where brothers and sisters can maintain their bond and support one another while receiving individualized care.

Supervised Visits

Maintaining family connections is an essential part of healing and growth.

We provide supervised family visits in a supportive, structured setting, ensuring each interaction is positive, safe, and centered around the best interests of the child.

Transportation (Rides)

We offer safe, reliable transportation to and from school, appointments, and family visits.
Our drivers are trained to ensure every trip is handled with professionalism, consistency, and care.

Youth Support

We go beyond basic care by providing mentorship, emotional support, and skill-building opportunities that prepare youth for adulthood.
From academic guidance to cultural engagement and recreation, our team is there every step of the way.

Individual Service Plans

Every child is unique — and so is their path forward.

We create Individual Service Plans (ISPs) tailored to each youth’s needs, strengths, and goals. These plans are developed in collaboration with caregivers, caseworkers, and cultural supports to ensure each youth receives holistic, consistent, and meaningful care.

Together, We Grow

At Big Heart Homes Inc., our purpose is simple: to open hearts, strengthen families, and help youth build the confidence and tools they need to succeed — in our homes and beyond.
