Vancouver’s downtown and its West End make up a lush neighbourhood area that is located near the city’s best-loved beaches and world-famous parks. The district is home to over 45,000 people and is one of most densely populated areas in Canada. The neighbourhood also hosts some of the largest events in the city, which attract hundreds of thousands of spectators every year. Residents are proud of their neighbourhoods and take pride in keeping their community clean through litter prevention. In 2013, Gordon Neighbourhood House (GNH) initiated and coordinated a Clean Team program in partnership with the West End Business Improvement Association (WEBIA), and the program continues today with the aim of keeping our neighbourhoods beautiful.
For more information on our clean team program and community clean-ups visit our page here.
We are so very thankful for the support of our program, whether through our volunteer participation or through sponsorship.
