The Pas Family Resource Centre (TPFRC) is located in The Pas. It is an incorporated organization and acts as its own CAPC sponsor.

TPFRC serves families with children age 0-6 and youth who are pregnant or at risk of becoming pregnant in the community of The Pas. TPFRC began in September 1994 as a two-year developmental project, sponsored primarily by Halcrow Lake Day Care Centre, in partnership with the Opaskwayak Women's Resource Centre, and guided by a community-based advisory committee. The project became very active operating a large number of programs. During the 1997-2000 funding period, the project undertook a process of reconfiguring its programs into four major programming areas: parenting programs; child/youth services; community development projects; and individual services. The new categories provide definition and focus, while still allowing a flexible programming approach within the categories.

As stated in its Mission Statement, TPFRC is dedicated to promoting, supporting and enhancing the growth and well-being of families in The Pas and surrounding area. TPFRC believes that the family, the parent and the child are all major contributing forces that determine the social, economic and emotional health of the community.

The project follows the Family Resource Centre model, offering a range of services and supports for families living in the community. A key element of the project's approach is to work in partnership with other service providers in the community.
