Vancouver Hub Special Projects
Swim Drink Fish aims to achieve a mission of a Swimmable Vancouver by expanding our work and engaging with our community. We do this by working with other groups and community partners on special projects that align with our mission. We also develop resources and programs that can help community members get more involved with their water and become environmental stewards themselves.
