Family Services of the North Shore is a charitable organization based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $6.2M in revenue and $6.2M in expenditures.
