The Alliance Française Vancouver has recognised the significance of updating its outdated 52-year-old building in order to better serve its growing community. After exploring various options in 2015, itwas ultimately decided to demolish the old facility and construct a modern, improved building. The new building has been in the works for years and is set to open at the beginning of 2024. It will serve as the central hub for francophones and francophiles in Vancouver, offering a range of unique and enriching educational and cultural experiences. This project will result in the largest francophone center in BC, cementing its position as a vital resource for the community.
An innovative, eco aware and community-friendly building, such is our vision for our new home for cross-cultural experiences in Vancouver.
We are planning to expand our pedagogical activities in the next few years and want to offer the best facility possible to our students. All our classrooms will be equipped with state-of-the-art technologies involving AR and VR. We are dedicated to shape the future of French language teaching.
We are committed to develop cultural activities accessible to all. As the Cambie neighbourhood is at the threshold of a new urban dynamic, the centre will host a restaurant, an art gallery, a brand new mediatheque and performance space in the Cambie area. We want to participate to the diversity and the quality of Vancouver's cultural offer.
Your gift will be used towards the construction of our new building and help us expand our cultural and educational activities for the benefit of the community we serve.
Follow the progress of the construction our building. We will be regularly updating and posting new pictures so stay tuned!
