Connect & Prepare Expands to three new communities – Here’s How It Went!
Our 2024 Learning Reports describes what we did, what we learned, and our plans for moving ahead.
Building Resilient Neighbourhoods helped bring Connect & Prepare to three new BC municipalities in 2022-23: North Vancouver, New Westminster, and Vancouver-Mount Pleasant. Through our partnership with Hey Neighbour Collective and in collaboration with resident champions, housing operators, local government emergency management and planning staff, and community-based organizations, this Connect & Prepare “scaling pilot” tested different ways of broadening the program’s reach and deepening its impact.
“If our residents are better prepared for emergencies

together, that’s better for us as a housing operator, too.”
