Through our CPC, we provide vital services including public outreach, educated, volunteer patrols, road safety programs, and neighbourhood cleanups. our goal is to empower residents, build trust, and strengthen community ties through active engagement and collaboration.
Why We Were Established:
GHXCPC was created in response to urgent safety concerns in Gastown and Hastings Crossing—neighbourhoods facing overlapping challenges related to poverty, displacement, and urban change. The Centre was founded to strengthen public trust, fill service gaps, and provide a safe, welcoming space where residents can access support and contribute to local safety efforts.
Through volunteer-led programs, coordination with the Vancouver Police Department, and collaboration with local service providers, GHXCPC brings grassroots energy to community policing. Our goal is to reduce harm, build relationships, and empower residents to take part in creating a safer and more resilient neighbourhood.
