Together, we protect Vancouver’s coastline.
Surfrider Foundation Vancouver is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the ocean, beaches, and waves, for all people, through a powerful activist network.
We are the Vancouver Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation Canada. We are an entirely volunteer-run team of everyday citizens who host monthly events to educate and engage the Vancouver community in protecting our urban coastline.
