Introduction
The Office of Neighborhoods provides City residents, City Council and staff with responsive, coordinated services that promote and support collaboration and communication among residents and City government through recognized neighborhood associations.
Neighborhood Associations in Vancouver have been officially recognized since 1975. Since then, the Office of Neighborhoods has been growing and changing along with the community. Over the years, the city has increased opportunities for citizen involvement and built strong partnerships between city hall and the community through special programs and benefits for recognized neighborhood associations. In 1990 there were 14 recognized neighborhood associations; today there are 64 officially recognized associations.
