Providence in the Park is a bi-annual outreach event that Providence has hosted in the Downtown Eastside since 2001.

This event is a volunteer opportunity for Providence staff to connect with community members, nurture partner relationships and work together to build trust and break down health care barriers within the Downtown Eastside (DTES) community.

PHC has the privilege of collaborating with several partner organizations for this event, including the Vancouver DUDES Club, to help bring resources and services into the DTES community.

This year we will be providing a pancake breakfast along with care services (e.g., haircuts, vaccines) and gifted personal care items.

Date and Time: Friday, April 14, 2023 | 9:30 am to 12:30 pm

Location:  Oppenheimer Park (400 Powell Street) – on the open grass field.

​This event relies on staff volunteers to help make it a success!  If you would like to volunteer for this event, email Christy Smith, Mission Coordinator, csmith@providencehealth.bc.ca for more information.  Thank you!
