The B.C. Child Survivor Group was formed in 1990. While there is a list of approximately ninety names of child survivors living in B.C., mostly former hidden children but also some camp survivors and kindertransport, the actual number of persons participating in the group's activities at one time or another is about thirty-five. The majority live in Vancouver, but there are also some who live elsewhere in the province, and occasionally more persons are still being identified. 

Sponsored by the Vancouver Holocaust Centre Society, the group functions primary as a self-help and support group, meeting once a month on a Sunday afternoon at the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre. Once a year there is an all day retreat. The gatherings are for survivors only. Typically fifteen to twenty-five persons are present at a gathering. Marked from the outset by its deliberately informal structure, VHCS membership is not a prerequisite for attendance. A few social functions, such as a Chanukah party, a Seder and a summer family picnic are expanded to include spouses, partners and other family members. 

A newsletter titled "No Longer Alone", featuring stories, poems and reports written by the group's members has its own regular section in the Holocaust Society's quarterly newsletter "Zachor". Occasionally a separate issue of No Longer Alone has been issued and circulated among group members only. 

A considerable percentage of Vancouver child survivors participate in the Holocaust Education Society's outreach program which supplies speakers to schools, to the annual highschool symposium at the University of B.C., and to the student groups that visit the ongoing exhibits at the Centre.
