Working together for our children and families

What is ALIVE ?

ALIVE (Aboriginal Life in Vancouver Enhancement) Society exists to promote, enhance and foster the social, economic, and cultural well-being and health of Aboriginal peoples in Vancouver.

Working within a place-based framework to develop inclusive strategies to support Aboriginal individuals, families and extended families where they find themselves, ALIVE creates opportunities for urban Aboriginals in the city of Vancouver to fully engage as citizens in their neighbourhoods and in the city as a whole.

ALIVE’s Mission

To enhance, promote, and foster the social, economic, cultural, health, and general well-being of Aboriginal people within the Vancouver area local neighbourhoods.

Truth and Reconciliations Policy Matters

Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth need to be involved whenever and wherever committees are planning, creating, researching and evaluating policies that affect them. By means of formal and informal decision-making processes, Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth can be involved in choices that are powerful, meaningful and substantive.
