2. Specific to the needs of a family:

Provide relevant resources, and hosts irregular family-related seminars, and Family Time seminars.

In 2015, with Ontario’s announcement of a new sex education curriculum, many Chinese parents started to notice the importance of traditional family values. Christian parents in particular want the Biblical values to be the guiding force in their children’s life. With Family Time, a healthy family may be sustained; we firmly believe a healthy family is the only way to a healthy society.

Family Keepers Canada sees the need this generation’s parents and zealously promotes Family Time Seminars. Family Time is a way of making God-fearing, God-centered families and personal life a reality. Family Keepers Canada hope to co-operate with fellow churches and organizations to create congregations who recognizes the importance and helpfulness of Family Time, helping to provide Family Time related seminars.
