The Pacific Parklands Foundation was established January 2000 as a non profit society with an independent Board of Directors. The Foundation raises funds to improve and expand the Metro Vancouver Regional Park system. We are an umbrella organization that helps find funding for the volunteer Park Partners. The volunteers identify areas that need development for recreation, education and nature conservation. The Foundation helps fund special projects in Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, and fosters public awareness of our outstanding park system. The Pacific Parklands Foundation bridges the gap between government funding and the pressing demands on our valuable parks. The Foundation does not solicit support for the basic maintenance and operation of the parks, which is and remains the responsibility of Metro Vancouver. We recognize the need to ensure that future generations understand the value of these unique spaces and learn how to work and play in our parks.
