If your application is successful, your agency will be included in ISV's resources database, and in future editions of The Red Book: Directory of Services for the Lower Mainland.

If yours is a non-profit agency - or meets one of the other criterion listed below - and has been in operation for at least six months, please call our resources and publications department at 604 875-6431 for an application form.

• Non-profit agencies providing a direct community service.
  
  
• Federal, provincial, regional, and municipal government services and elected representatives.
  
  
• Mutual support groups.
  
  
• Hospitals, continuing care facilities, and other health care providers.
  
  
• Advocacy groups.
  
  
• Member organizations, such as churches and service clubs, offering services beyond their own membership to the community at large.
  
  
• For profit companies may be considered for inclusion if they provide a community service free of charge; are contracted by a government agency to provide services at no direct cost to the client; or meet a need not addressed by the non-profit sector.
  
  
• Occupational organizations, especially those in the community service fields.
  
  
• Organizations located outside the Lower Mainland or outside BC that provide a service not available locally, and are accessible through toll-free phone numbers and/or Internet access.
  
  
• New organizations must have been in existence for at least six months before being included in any printed directory. This does not preclude ISV from giving out information about a new organization if a caller requests it.
  
  
• Confirmation of licensure by a third party may be required for services such as childcare, home care, and recovery homes, before inclusion in our resources.
