Community Resource Platform — Owned by Lifesaver

HelpBC

HelpBC is our community resource platform, owned and operated by Lifesaver Technology Services Inc. The platform unifies verified social-service listings — food support, housing, health, crisis support, and more — across British Columbia. The first live deployment serves the Central Okanagan; additional BC metros are in the rollout queue.

The Challenge

Community-service information across BC is fragmented region by region, scattered across dozens of websites and outdated PDFs. When someone is in crisis they don't have time to Google 15 organizations. Each region also needs local ownership of its listings, partnerships, and verification.

Our Solution

A platform with a shared backbone for listings, search, mapping, accessibility, and an automated verification pipeline that re-checks data on an ongoing cadence — combined with per-region partner workflows so each metro keeps local control of its data. Public-facing features include real-time open/closed status, interactive maps, offline support, multilingual access, and a Quick Exit safety feature.
