Neighborhood Associations

Neighborhood Associations in Vancouver have been officially recognized since 1975. The city has increased opportunities for citizen involvement over the years and built strong partnerships between city hall and the community through recognized neighborhood associations. In 1990 there were 14 recognized neighborhood associations; today there are 63 officially recognized associations.

Neighborhood Action Plans

The Neighborhood Action Plan process was started in 1994 to identify assets and issues of concern in each Vancouver neighborhood and to devise strategies for addressing those concerns. Issues include traffic and pedestrian safety, public safety, transportation, recreation and open space, land use and housing.
