Keeping Downtown Vibrant
Our work is fueled by passionate volunteers who are committed to our city center achieving its full potential.
If it affects our downtown, it matters to us.
We are the advocates, changemakers, and capacity-builders for Downtown Vancouver.
Walkable, clean and safe city centers are job-producing, memory-making, convention-welcoming, vibrant places where people want to live, work and visit. There is no greater indicator of a community’s health than the positive pace of its downtown.
