Celebrating Neighbourhoods Building Community
Lower Capilano Partnership Committee
The Lower Capilano Partnership Committee was created in January 2007 with the goal of improving community infrastructures and supports in five communities of the Lower Capilano area:
- Lions Gate
- Lower Capilano
- Norgate
- Pemberton Heights
- Woodcroft
This unique group of community service providers, community resident association leaders and community members share and work toward a common vision for the Lower Cap area. The Committee's key objectives focus on:
- Filling in the gaps in neighborhood needs
- Building cross-neighborhood relationships and
- Implementing sustainable social, recreational and educational programs for families and people of all ages & cultures
Support for Lower Cap initiatives has been provided by the District of North Vancouver through funding grants and by the Vancouver Recreation Commission through direct staff support. Grant funding is targeted both to enhancing existing programs and developing new ones.
