About Us
The BC Community project is a university student-led club that is working on establishing a safe shelter for the homeless community. To have a place to lay their heads at night when they are turned down from certain shelters or have run out of options on where to rest and lay their belongings. The shelter would be provided in the form of bubble tents to promote social distancing and allow the community a safe location to stay while they fight off the virus. The project would also provide the community with resources on where to get tested, education on how to keep themselves safe, where to find food and a community to lean on in times of struggle.

We all have power for change, let’s use it.
