Community Resources
Thank you for visiting the Community Resources’ section of Kits House website – where you can access community information & resources at your fingertips.
A special thank you to the participants & volunteers of the Newcomers Dialogues & Mapping Project – who helped determine & research these informative resources. Check out the ‘Newcomers Guide to the Westside’ available in 5 languages (English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish & Farsi).
Kitsilano Neighbourhood House is a “hub of information” for Vancouver’s Westside. We are a friendly neighbourhood place where people of all ages and cultures come together to enjoy programs and services that make the Westside a healthy, safe and vibrant community to live and do business!
