Vibrant Abbotsford

Vibrant Abbotsford began in 2006, when local citizens dedicated themselves to realizing a vision of Abbotsford that offers a high quality of life for all. Now, we are undertaking actions to make that vision a reality. To create conditions for reducing poverty in Abbotsford, we present low income residents with opportunities and tools to lift themselves out of their current realities instead of merely helping them to live with the reality of being poor.

Poverty reduction is the action of moving people out of poverty situations, rather than making their lives in poverty more comfortable. As a collaborative group, Vibrant Abbotsford works with a variety of partners, including all levels of government, social and voluntary organizations, faith-based organizations, local businesses, funders, and the people of Abbotsford.
