The Vancouver Port Authority is committed to sharing its success with the communities it serves. Through our Community Investment Program, we strive to support the economic, social and environmental aspirations of our operating communities with a view to building sustainable futures together.

As such, we manage a dynamic and broad-ranged community investment program based on the three pillars of Education, Community Enrichment and Environment. These core focus areas represent where we believe we can make the most difference in our neighbouring communities.

In 2006, a financial target was set for Community Investment. One per cent of our net income is now dedicated to the program. As we grow, so too does our ability to support the communities in which we operate.
