Chilliwack – Wilma’s Transition Society is a non profit located in Chilliwack, BC offering safe housing and support services for women and children who are victims of violence.
Wilma’s Transition House, formerly known as Xolhemet Society was created in 1988 as a Non-profit Incorporated Society, dedicated solely to providing services to victims of family violence through support, advocacy and education.
In 1991, Wilma’s Transition House opened an 18-bed Transition House for women and children affected by family violence. The Transition House is operated as a free, safe and temporary shelter.
