About Hogan's Alley Society:

The Hogan’s Alley Society (HAS) is a non-profit organization composed of civil rights activists, business professionals, community organizations, artists, writers and academics committed to daylighting the presence of Black history in Vancouver and throughout British Columbia. HAS adopts a research driven approach to community development that seeks to preserve and promote the historical, cultural, societal and economic contributions made by Black Settlers and their descendants to Vancouver, Greater Vancouver, the Province of British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest and Canada. With this history in the archives, HAS is in process of developing partnerships with local government and business interests to acquire and develop land and operate assets as a community land trust.

The present day Hogan’s Alley Society is predominantly the product of two community lead initiatives: the Hogan’s Alley Memorial Project (HAMP) and the Hogan’s Alley Land Trust (HAT).

Nations Skate Youth:

Empowering Indigenous youth to embrace their right to self-determination through the positive impact of skateboarding.

PURPOSE

• We are an Indigenous-led organization who wants to inspire youth with our stories and   encourage the importance of keeping our culture and traditions alive.

• Showing indigenous youth, the capability of what skateboarding can bring into an individual's life and share what it brought into our lives.

• Letting them flourish into the best versions of themselves.

VALUES

• Caring about the well-being and mental health of our people and their communities.

• Strengthen communities through common interests (maybe skateboarding) or leads to some other art form.

• Breaking the cycle of distance within our own people and invest in our future leaders.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES 

Listen to the struggles of youth is so important and can make a big difference in their self-esteem and mental health. Asking how to best support them and what changes they would like to see in their own communities. Teaching through storytelling and from real life events to help understand why change is so important.
