The Woodlands Parents' Group was an independent group of parents whose children were residents in Woodlands. They organized themselves as a support and advocacy group for deinstitutionalization and community living. Through their efforts, they successfully lobbied the Government of British Columbia to close Woodlands and support community living for residents of Woodlands.
