Our 2016 Vital Signs Report
Vancouver Foundation’s 2016 Vital Signs is our first provincial report, produced in partnership with Community Foundations across British Columbia. We were curious to learn about any regional differences in our experiences, and keen to support other Community Foundations to collect data about their local communities. Our thanks go to the Community Foundation movement in British Columbia and in particular those Community Foundations who contributed to this survey.
We hope our 2016 Vital Signs report will spark discussion and action among the people who care about our communities. It will inform and guide our own work as a funder, partner, and convener, and we plan to use it to engage community and civic organizations in discussion about working together to build healthy, vibrant and livable communities across BC.
In addition to a provincial summary report, we have produced a series of smaller reports focusing on the key issues for 16 regions across the province.
