Our project:Our vision inspires us to think differently about wealth to re-envision prosperity as something we can only achieve if we're surrounded by and connected to a vibrant and diverse community. Our values-based banking model is grounded in the local economy because we believe you only truly prosper when you're connected to a healthy community.
We're remodeling our Vancity Centre community branch (branch 1) to better reflect the way we do business. This branch remodel project includes an art call designed to engage the local art community as an integral part of our members branch experience. Through this art call, Vancity will select one artist or artist team to create one art commission.
