The Junior Superheroes Project is a joint effort between the Superheroes of Victoria Volunteer Society and the Help Fill A Dream Foundation with one simple goal: to turn already super children into comic book superheroes. This project provides a once-in-a-lifetime superhero experience. Each child receives a tailored superhero outfit, custom photo shoot and a near-life-sized movie poster of them as their superhero alter-ego.

All the selected nominees are children receiving treatment or a support program here on Vancouver Island and have shared some pretty incredible stories of overcoming adversity. Most attention these children receive, whether it be positive or negative, usually relates to their conditions. This project’s goal is to focus on all the positive aspects of these young heroes; to provide the children a chance to laugh, play and just be a kid; and to show us all the amazing things that make them truly superheroes.

Keep your eyes open for the next year’s nomination form where we will be on the lookout for this city’s newest Junior Superheroes!
