Meet A Stranger

WEST COAST SPEAKS HEALTH SOCIETY

Strengthening connection through conversation

OUR MISSION

At West Coast Speaks, we believe that one conversation can change everything.

 

That’s why our non-profit is dedicated to creating opportunities for meaningful social connection through conversation. Grounded in research and driven by community, we work to improve social health by reducing isolation and loneliness, fostering genuine human interactions, and strengthening the bonds that hold our communities together.
 

We’re here to reduce loneliness and spark connection – one conversation at a time. Through social movements and grassroots projects, we’re shifting the way people interact in their everyday lives.
 

Because connection isn’t a luxury - it’s a lifeline.

We acknowledge with gratitude that we live, work, and gather on the traditional, and ancestral, territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) Peoples, known today as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.

​

We also recognize the ongoing relationships with the W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples, whose historic connections to this land remain strong and deeply rooted.

​

As settlers and guests on these lands, we commit to listening, learning, and taking meaningful steps toward reconciliation, while honouring the enduring presence, wisdom, and resilience of the Indigenous Peoples who have cared for these lands since time immemorial.
