Foundry offers youth (and the folks who love them) connection, tools and support in living a good life.
We acknowledge with gratitude that Foundry West Shore, Sooke, and Port Renfrew will operate on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Nations of Esquimalt (Xwsepsum/Kosapsum), Songhees, T'Sou-ke, Sc'ianew (Beecher Bay), and NuuChahNulth Peoples of Pacheedaht. We honour and respect Metis, Inuit, First Nations, and commit to fostering culturally safe and inclusive spaces for all youth and families and to building meaningful, ongoing relationships with the Nations whose lands we are privileged to share. We commit to reconciliation, decolonizing our health care practices, and Indigenous youth-led health solutions that support current and future generations.
Hosted by Thrive Social Services Society, Foundry West Shore, Sooke, and Port Renfrew will unite multiple partner organizations to support the health and wellness of young people aged 12–24 and their families across the region. These centres will offer integrated services including:

Our Thrive team acknowledges that our agency stands and works on the unceded Lək̓ʷəŋən territory of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. We also acknowledge the five W̱SÁNEĆ communities: W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip), BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin), SȾÁUTW̱,(Tsawout) W̱SIKEM (Tseycum) and MÁLEXEȽ (Malahat), as well as the Sc'ianew (Beecher Bay), T’Sou-ke, and Pacheedaht Nations and the Spune’laxutth’ (Penelekut) tribe where our work extends. We are committed to acknowledging our relationship with these unceded lands and communities, at staff and Board meetings, and during our hosted events. We encourage the evolving learning and awareness of our staff, Board, and the Thrive community, discovering and striving for meaning and personal connection within each acknowledgement.
