The Cridge Respitality Program

The Cridge Respitality Program recognizes the challenges our parents and guardians face in accessing a vital break from the physical and mental stressors of day-to-day life. Our goal is to provide an experience for parents and guardians to put themselves first.  We also recognize that there can be financial barriers to accessing opportunities for a break or family experience in our community.  We can assist you in the following ways:

• Partnerships with Greater Victoria hotels that donate one-night hotel stays to Respite & Respitality allow us to offer parents and guardians a night away from home, free from the cost of the hotel room and taxes. These stays are a maximum of one Respitality hotel stay annually and based on availability.
• For parents and guardians who are unable, or would prefer not to have a night away from home, we have other opportunities available. Based on financial donations to The Cridge Respitality and/or donations from local businesses, we may have tickets for the theatre, dinner out, movie passes, or spa gift certificates, to name a few.
• The Cridge Respite & Respitality Services does not provide or fund respite care.  Arranging for a respite care provider and any associated costs are the responsibility of the family.
• From time to time, we can offer access to community events and activities through the support of our generous donors and business partners.
