Resilient Neighbourhoods Program

In an emergency, your neighbours are often your first responders. Communities that are more connected before an emergency, where neighbours know each other, who needs help, and how to help them, recover quicker. 

During crises, people go to the places and people they trust and know for help. The Resilient Neighbourhoods Program supports community-based organizations and service providers to survive, adapt, and thrive in the face of emergencies and other challenges. 

Supporting community resilience in Vancouver

The Resilient Neighbourhoods Program and Amplifier Network supports over 60 community-based organizations and initiatives across Vancouver to:

  • Align resilience-building initiatives on a community and neighbourhood level
  • Support neighbourhoods to examine and reduce chronic issues
  • Build neighbourhood capacity to collectively prepare for, respond to, and recover from extreme heat and other emergencies
