Covenant House Vancouver

Covenant House Vancouver has two buildings from which we run all our programs from, one called Drake and the other called Pender based on the streets where you find them. Our Drake building houses part of our Shelter (22 beds), Drop In and outreach programs as well as our Finance and Fundraising teams. Pender is home to another part of our Shelter program (32 beds), Rights of Passage (ROP) as well as our Executive Director, Human Resources and other staff members.

Pender has a wonderful rooftop garden and common area for the youth and staff. This year we were blessed with the talents of a team at TELUS who helped us to transform our rooftop from “drab to fab”.

We wanted to share some pictures of the beautiful garden that are being lovingly tended to by one of our maintenance staff, Crystal.  The tranquil garden is a little oasis in the middle of downtown Vancouver and has been enjoyed by our staff and young people all summer.
