Guiding is a fun, safe and inclusive space where units explore new interests and passions. Our programs include exploring the outdoors, social justice, STEM, arts, community service, and much more! We welcome all female-identified community members. In Renfrew District (East Vancouver), like many areas, we have wait lists for many programs and are looking for more adult volunteers (ages 19+) to allow more access to all the fun and friendship of Guiding.

Established in 1910, Girl Guides of Canada has added over 7 million Canadian girls and women to the Guiding family. Today, Guiding's innovative programming is helping the next generation of Canadian girls become confident, courageous and resourceful leaders.

<strong>Greater Van Gogos</strong> is a network of more than 20 local groups registered with the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers Campaign. Our members are diverse, engaged and united by our commitment to support the work of African grandmothers raising a generation of children orphaned by AIDS. We raise funds, increase awareness about the challenges and successes of grandmothers in Africa and build solidarity between African and Canadian grandmothers.

The Campaign is an exceptional model of fundraising based on the principles of social justice. African grandmothers identify their needs and the Campaign responds. Our support helps the community based organizations provide school fees and uniforms for children, adequate housing, skills training, home care visits, grief and trauma counselling and micro credit grants for income generation.

The Green Party of Vancouver was founded in 1984, and has elected representatives to School Board, Park Board and City Council.

In 2011, Adriane Carr - one of the party's original founders - was elected as Vancouver's first ever Green City Councillor. In 2014 she was re-elected at the top of the polls, receiving more votes than any city councillor in the history of Vancouver.

2014 also saw the Green Party of Vancouver elect the largest caucus of Greens in Canada. In addition to Councillor Adriane Carr, Stuart Mackinnon was elected for a second term on Park Board (he previously served from 2008-2011) along with rookie Green Park Board Commissioner Michael Wiebe, who became Park Board chair at the end of 2016. Stuart was appointed Park Board chair in December 2017. Janet Fraser was elected to School Board, where she held the balance of power on a split Board and served as Vice Chair until the entire Board was fired by the BC Liberal government in 2016.

More Greens were elected in 2017 by-election , with our School Board candidates winning the top three spots in a 9-seat by-election. Janet Fraser, now Chair of the VSB, returned along with two newcomers, Estrellita Gonzalez and Judy Zaichkowsky.

All of our elected Greens have one thing in common: they are appreciated by Vancouverites who value the principled leadership and creativity they bring to their elected bodies, their strong democratic principles, and their readiness to listen to what citizens have to say and then to be a voice for them at the decision-making table.

Together, the Green Party of Vancouver team is <em>your </em>independent voice on Council, Park Board and School Board. We bring the fresh collaborative leadership that we need in order to build a better Vancouver, together.
