Burnaby Youth Custody Services (BYCS) was previously located on the outdated Willingdon site which was in need of replacement. The facility was relocated to a renovated site on the grounds of the former B.C. Correctional Center for Women (B.C.CW) in November 2007. The new location provided for co-location with Youth Forensic Psychiatric Services, expanded outdoor and program space, individual rooms for youth, and modernized safety and security features.
