  • Did you know?
    • Vancouver's first Neighbourhood House grew out of the Alexandra Orphanage, one of the province's first non-profit societies. In 1938, the facility was closed and re-opended a couple of months later as Alexandra Neighbourhood House.
    • Incorporated in 1894, the Association of Neighbourhood Houses was the 36th non-profit society in BC. Since then, our 117 year old Association has grown into an organization of eight Neighbourhood Houses and an Outdoor Centre.
    • ANHBC's NH's and Camps serve more than 100,000 people a year, or 17% of the population of Vancouver - that's half of the Translink passenger rides on any given day!
