In 1976, Mary Brown leads a steering committee operating under SHARE Family Services towards independence. On August 11, with funding from the Ministry of Social Services, Community Volunteer Connections (formally the Greater Coquitlam Volunteer Bureau) officially registered its name and established an office at Vanier Elementary School in Coquitlam, BC.
