Neighborhoods
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 71 officially recognized associations.
