A Mother's Village
Haven's first villages open in Ontario in fall 2026. Langford is on the British Columbia list that follows — join the waitlist and your neighbourhood moves up the order.
Start with Island Health's public-health drop-ins on the West Shore, the Langford library's baby and toddler storytime, and West Shore Parks & Recreation's parent-and-tot programmes. All are free and organised by catchment, so everyone there lives nearby.
Haven adds verified neighbourhood villages across Westhills, Bear Mountain, Happy Valley, Goldstream, Luxton and the wider West Shore — opening in fall 2026 once Haven reaches British Columbia.
These are the first places to try, and none of them require an app.
Langford has grown faster than almost anywhere else in the province. That means a high proportion of families who moved in recently, do not have relatives nearby, and have not yet built a local network — which is exactly the gap Haven is built to close. It is also compact and walkable enough that help can genuinely arrive on foot.
Villages are being formed around Westhills, Bear Mountain, Happy Valley, Goldstream, Luxton and the wider West Shore. Each village has a name, a neighbourhood, guidelines its members agreed to, and admins who moderate.
Add your email and tell us which part of Langford you are in. Village formation follows where members already are, so the neighbourhoods with the most waitlist sign-ups open first.
Yes — Island Health runs public-health drop-ins across the West Shore, and the Langford branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library plus the West Shore Parks & Recreation centre both run free parent-and-tot programmes. Haven adds small, verified neighbourhood villages, opening here after the Ontario beta.
Haven's beta opens in Ontario in fall 2026, and Langford is one of the two first communities alongside Victoria. Joining the waitlist reserves your place in the founding cohort.
Nothing. Building and joining a village, messaging, events, Request Help and Lend a Hand are all free and will stay free. The Wellness Hub is an optional subscription at $24.99 CAD per month with free preview content.
You can create one. Any verified member can start a village for their neighbourhood, name it, set its guidelines and invite the people already nearby.
Behind the scenes of building Haven — the community, the mothers, and the road to launch in Ontario.
