Neighbours First

Neighbours First is a non-profit community program serving the Gastown and Chinatown areas in the City of Vancouver. The program provides a focal point for identification of, and action on, concerns related to security, safety, and hospitality to make the area a safe and pleasant environment in which to reside, do business or visit.

Program activities include promotion and co-ordination of crime prevention programs such as community watch, street clean-up, and other public awareness initiatives.

Neighbours First is currently starting a community foot patrol program to augment current efforts to provide a safe crime-free environment by acting as an extra set of eyes and ears for the community and the police, looking for anything out of the ordinary, and to provide a highly visible presence in the community as a deterrent to criminal activity. In order for this program to achieve its goal of making the community safe and crime-free, we need volunteers like you.

Come join Neighbours First and help revitalize the Gastown and Chinatown areas by creating an enjoyable, friendly and hospitable place to live, visit and do business.

Please give Chinatown Neighbours First, a call at 604-688-5030 or drop by the office at 118 Keefer Street or for Gastown Neighbours First, call 604-683-9101 or visit their office located at 219 Abbott Street.
