Part of the mission of the Vancouver Watersheds Alliance is to get people, especially families, outdoors. Families, community and school groups, and individuals attend VWA events to lend a helping hand to make our area a better, greener place to live. These efforts serve to bring together and engage the community to protect and enhance the natural environment of Vancouver’s Watersheds.
