Art Foundation
We are proud to connect people, communities and cultures at YVR. We value our cultural heritage in BC and share this with the world every day through housing one of the largest private collections of Northwest Coast indigenous art. To support indigenous artists, we fund scholarships and mentoring for emerging and mid-career artists through the YVR Art Foundation.
Quest Food Exchange
-
Since 2011, YVR’s food and financial donations to the Quest Outreach Society totaling over $564,000 have resulted in 41 metric tonnes of quality surplus food and products diverted from landfill sites and approximately 256 metric tonnes of greenhouse gas equivalents prevented from entering our atmosphere.
Vancouver Pride Society
-
We’re proud to partner with the Vancouver Pride Society to further diversity and inclusion in British Columbia. In 2022, we added an incredibly vibrant Pride Installation to the Canada Line Walkway – a stunning and educational piece supporting a safe space for all of us to be our most authentic selves.
Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports
-
