We are deeply grateful to have received the “Best Public and Private Partnership” award at the 2026 Georgie Awards, alongside our valued partners at @ BC Housing and Community Living BC.
Presented by the Canadian Home Builders' Association of BC (CHBA BC) , this recognition honours the shared commitment and collaboration that helped bring our dream of inclusive housing community in Burnaby to life.
The project began as a BC Housing redevelopment and was made possible through the Building BC: Community Housing Fund, with support and partnership across all levels of government and our valued supporters. At its heart, it reflects what becomes possible when many hands and hearts come together to create spaces where people truly belong.
We are especially thankful to Kathy Louie, Director, Housing Program Delivery at BC Housing, who accepted the award on behalf of BC Housing, alongside FeiFei Peng, Patrick Armstrong, and Nicolas Cucinotta, and Bob Youssef, Regional Director, Vancouver Coastal Region, Community Living BC.
This recognition belongs to everyone involved!

This year, we did another cultural exchange - and our African community brought even more energy than last summer! With great food and great company, we were able to share what our culture means to one another.

Thanks to everyone who organized such a beautiful exchange - the building was alive with music, and we danced the afternoon away!

Our Spring Newsletter is now online!

This season we are taking time to reflect on where we’ve been and where we are being called next. Through it all, we keep seeing the same truth: when people make room for one another, belonging grows.

At L’Arche, our core members are not only supported - they are supporting others. They share their gifts, build friendships, and help create a stronger, more connected neighbourhood.

We’d love for you to read our latest newsletter:https://larchevancouver.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Spring-2026-Newsletter.pdf

We felt truly blessed today to welcome His Grace, Archbishop Richard Smith, to our Friday community lunch. We are so grateful he took the time to be with us and share meaningful conversations with our core members.

His presence meant so much - not only to those he spoke with, but to our whole community. Thank you, Your Grace, for your kindness, warmth, and time with us today. Archdiocese of Vancouver Archbishop Richard Smith
