WHAT is Understanding the Early Years (UEY)?

The Understanding the Early Years project (UEY) is a federally funded local research and community capacity building initiative. UEY enables communities to use local research to increase understanding of the needs of young children, their families, and the community factors and resources that influence children's development before the age of 6.

We are one of 21 UEY sites across Canada chosen in 2005 to undertake this three year endeavour. The project covers all municipal, electoral and school district jurisdictions within BC's Capital Region. The Community Council is the legal sponsor for the UEY.
