Get involved in your city!
We all shape the city we live in. Get involved in city government, attend an open house or workshop, volunteer at your local community centre, join an advisory body or discussion group, plant flowers at your local community garden, or improve your environment by walking instead of driving. These are just some of the things you can do to get involved in your city and community, and the City of Vancouver offers a wide variety of programs and initiatives to help you. Below are some links to guide you.
