OUR VISION
A healthy, just and vibrant city for everyone
The Society Promoting Environmental Conservation (SPEC) is a non-profit, charitable and volunteer-driven organization, founded in 1969. We work with citizens, industries and government agencies, putting our brains together to create a healthy environment we can call home.
Featured Programs
Repair Café brings together local repair volunteers with a knack for repairing who are willing to lend their knowledge and show participants how to carry out repairs. These free and lively events have been an appreciated addition to the sustainability landscape of Metro Vancouver.
Elders in Our Midst connects and celebrates seniors across British Columbia who have contributed to climate action in their communities. Through intergenerational interviews and hand-painted portraits by Joy Hanser, the project highlights the unique experiences, knowledge, and efforts of these Elders.
