YWCA Metro Vancouver began its residential camping activities in 1913 with the YWCA Girls Camp at Copper Cove, near Horseshoe Bay. After selling its Copper Cove site in 1936, the YWCA rented campsites on Galiano Island for several years, then at various leased campsites around British Columbia. The first YaWaCa camp program was offered in 1962 at Camp Potlatch, Howe Sound. Camp YaWaCa was run at rented facilities until 1971, at which point it became clear that finding a suitable rental space long-term would be infeasible. YWCA Metro Vancouver began site planning and development of the YaWaCa Outdoor Centre in 1971. Opened in 1972, the YaWaCa Outdoor Centre hosted Camp YaWaCa over the summer for girls along with other YWCA programs, including a counsellor-in-training program, a pregnant teenagers’ retreat, a camp for single mothers and their children, and a recreational program for adults with intellectual disabilities. The Outdoor Centre was also rentable to non-YWCA outdoor groups from September to June. The YaWaCa Outdoor Centre closed in 1983 due to financial constraints.

A mentorship program began around 1990 to assist young women in enhancing their interpersonal skills and exploring career opportunities. The YWCA also developed and involved itself in programming including: several clubs at Pender Y engaging with the Chinatown community from 1940 to the 1970s; the Housewives Holiday, later called Take a Break, a program for home makers from the 1950s to 1970s; Single Mothers’ groups and the Annual Single Mothers’ Conference from the 1970s to 1990s; and the Mature Women’s Conference from 1987 to 1989.

The New Iceland Research collection subseries began from a research project Robert Ásgeirsson pursued for a potential documentary film called “The Twelve Year Republic,” about New Iceland, Manitoba. He began looking for photographic evidence from the first years of the community in the 1870s and early 1880s but ultimately found that most of the photographs were from the turn of the 20th century. He accumulated research information, correspondence, publications and photographs (copies and originals) from community members of the Icelandic National League (INL) in Manitoba and the Provincial Archives of Manitoba. Many of the photographs depict the lifestyle of New Icelanders.

He wrote a proposal for the documentary but ultimately, the project did not come to fruition. Ásgeirsson gave the photographs to the Gimli Museum in 1975. What remains in the subseries are the textual research documents kept in subject files in their original order, and copies of the original photographs of New Iceland Ásgeirsson collected during his original project.
