Pacific Parklands Foundation

     

Pacific Parklands Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of Metro Vancouver’s regional parks. There are 21 such parks in and around the Lower Mainland, covering more than 10,000 square hectares. In 2009, almost 9 million visitors come to experience the natural beauty of British Columbia through our park system. This volume, and the demand on our parks, increases every year.

While ongoing maintenance and day to day operations of the parks are publicly funded, Pacific Parklands Foundation actively raises funds to expand and improve our parks, in ways that go beyond the basic necessities. Whether it is a wheel chair accessible ramp in a new viewing tower at Burnaby Lake, or the restoration and enhancement of Camosun Bog in Pacific Spirit Regional Park, we believe in making our park system the best it can be, for ourselves and for future generations. Moreover,PPF fosters public awareness of the park system through land purchases/bequests, and recruits skilled leaders from the corporate world and local communities to be directors.
