At Central City Foundation, our goal of radical listening has given us a truly unique opportunity to walk alongside amazing people and organizations doing work that is changing lives and communities.

Created in and about the DTES, Central City Foundation’s Hope Dialogue Series is a broadly accessible weekly one hour unpacking of the issues and topics important to those living and working in Vancouver’s inner city with a focus on amplifying voices from within the community.

Pictured are just some of the community voices we've had the pleasure of hosting.

Catch up on past episodes Monday at noon on CFRO 100.5 FM or wherever you get your podcasts. https://centralcityfoundation.ca/hope-dialogue-radio-show-and-podcast/

Sadly, there will not be a Fair in the Square this year.

After 17 years of bringing joy, music and hamburgers to our community, CCF, alongside our partner VCC, has made the difficult decision to pause Fair in the Square this year due to temporary restrictions related to the soccer World Cup. We are deeply grateful to the many volunteers, donors and sponsors who have made this event possible over the years. We look forward to welcoming you back to Fair in the Square. Keep an eye out for updates about 2027!
