Place-making at DCHC

The Downtown Community Health Centre received a City of Vancouver grant to improve our front gates to make them more welcoming. This is informed and instigated by the peers who let us know what makes them feel un/safe with our clinic. Their research and pictures are also on this site.

We want your help to make the front entrance more welcoming!

REQUIRED THEMES

  • Queer & trans safety

  • Cultural safety

  • 7 sacred teachings (especially love)

  • Indigenous women & families

  • Harm reduction

  • East Van Pride

  • Plants, trees and/or flowers
