About Easter Seals BC/Yukon
Easter Seals BC/Yukon is a service of the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities. Since 1952, they have provided programs and services for children and adults with disabilities. Their two main services are Easter Seals Camps and Easter Seals House.
Easter Seals Camps are a place where everyone is welcome and no one hears the word ‘no’. It’s a place where campers can be themselves, and explore and develop their abilities in a safe, warm, fun and supportive environment. Campers return home with new friendships, improved skills, and become more independent and active members of their communities. Camp offers both a magical experience for campers, and an important week of respite for families and caregivers.
Easter Seals House offers an affordable home-away-from-home for adults and families who travel to Vancouver for medical treatment. For so many, knowing Easter Seals House is here gives them a sense of peace and calmness, during very hard times. Located just blocks away from the best hospitals and treatment centres, ESH makes it easy for guests and caregivers to travel to and from.

Join Tyson, Dakota, and their Guardians of a Wishing Well team as they raise money for new medical lift slings for Camp Squamish, an Easter Seals camp for children and adults with disabilities.
Tyson began attending Easter Seals camp at around six years old, an experience that quietly shaped his life. What first felt intimidating soon became a place where he felt supported, encouraged, and free to be himself, laying the foundation for the confidence he carries into his relationships and community today. Now 35, Tyson inspires those around him to believe in possibility.
Dakota has been part of Tyson’s journey since his high school years, when their paths first crossed through her practicum work. Their friendship grew and for the last 2 years Dakota has joined Tyson’s team of personal support workers. Together, Tyson and Dakota became Guardians of a Wishing Well, a creative partnership that turns hope into action through dance, storytelling, fundraising, and community engagement. Their name reflects what they strive to do: turn wishes into real possibilities, create belonging, open doors, and remind families they are seen and supported.
