Community Advisory Committee

As part of the facility management plan, an eighteen-member community advisory committee has been formed, comprising Family Services’ staff, City of Vancouver staff, businesses and business associations, property owners, residents, resident associations and community associations.

 

The Directions Community Advisory Committee is a group of concerned public citizens formed to work with Directions. It is an advisory group, not a decision-making body, which fulfills its purpose by being solution-focused and responsive to community concerns. Members agree to operate in accordance with the Terms of Reference. The committee meets quarterly.

The purposes of this group are to:

  1. Provide support to Directions in its commitment to meeting its goals;
  2. Address the impact of Directions on the community and provide input to address these concerns;
