Positive Voices hosted a ‘Vital Signs’ presentation on the state of our community
West Vancouver Foundation’s Vital Signs report is an analysis of key quality of life indicators based on local knowledge, gathered from professionally-conducted surveys.
It is designed to support civic engagement, discussion and evidence-based solutions that meet the needs of our community.

The latest edition, the first since 2019, shows that we score well on a range of measures including safety, health, and sense of belonging.
But it also has some sobering conclusions, including:
An ‘F’ grade for housing
Fewer than 50% of respondents say West Van is a good place for youth
62% are pessimistic about the future of our community
Mobility, and particularly transit, need to improve.
