About LoVE VI

The purpose of Local Vacations & Experiences Society Vancouver Island (LoVE VI) is to help Vancouver Island families explore where they live.

LoVE VI is a BC-registered non-profit society that provides personalized trip planning guidance and financial support to low income families on Vancouver Island. Because we believe that every Vancouver Island family deserves LoVE!

How LoVE VI works

LoVE VI partners with the local tourism community to create accessible, responsible tourism opportunities for local families. We connect with Vancouver Island social service organizations who work with families in need, then guide those families through planning and financing one, two, and three day vacations right here on Vancouver Island.

LoVE VI helps families on Vancouver Island take a break — to play, spend time together, and escape life’s stresses - close to home, but away. If you vacation on Vancouver Island, you know how amazing this place is for exploring, for relaxing, for adventuring, and for reconnecting with loved ones. Together, we can help more local families experience LoVE!

Get Involved with LoVE VI!

Are you a Vancouver Island-owned tourism business? Join us in helping local families explore where they live! We’re guiding families through vacation planning and seeking tourism partners to make these experiences possible.

We also welcome financial contributions—every dollar helps, and you can even fund an entire vacation for a family! All purchases are made directly from local tourism operators, ensuring the maximum benefit stays within our community. Plus, for every tourism partner donation, we pledge to match it with an equivalent experience.

Families are referred to LoVE VI through Vancouver Island social service organizations. If you know a family who deserves LoVE, please encourage their support organization to connect with me!
