Community: Prince George
The Child Development Centre of Prince George (CDC) is a registered charitable organization that offers a variety of services to families with children who have disabilities or developmental delays. In 2019 alone, the CDC served over 1300—or roughly 1 in 5 children in our community. They are proud to be one of the largest and longest running organizations of its kind in the province. The CDC was established in 1967 in response to demand for support of children and youth with disabilities and developmental delays in the central interior.
The CDC’s endowment fund with the Prince George Community Foundation was started by a generous attendee of the CDC’s annual Kris Kringle Luncheon fundraiser. They had won the 50/50 pot and made the selfless decision to give that money back to the community. Other’s added to the pot and the fund was born. The fund supports the many services that the centre provides families in our region, including: physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, family resource support, and supported child development.
Most of the services the CDC provides are intended to improve quality of life and prepare children to successfully enter the school system.
