Victoria Cool Aid Society

In 1968, the Cool Aid Hostel opened its doors. Our mission was to provide short-term, emergency shelter to transient youth travelling the country. In 1972, we launched our first dental clinic. Throughout the 1980s, Cool Aid grew as one of British Columbia’s largest non-profit organizations, with an increasing focus on the development of safe, affordable housing. Fifty years after our initial launch, Cool Aid has developed a successful reputation by creating accessible, affordable, and alternative housing programs and holistic health services for people who need it the most.
