ABOUT 312 MAIN
312 Main was the longtime headquarters of the Vancouver Police Department and has been transformed into a community-centred hub that fosters collaboration and innovation among organizations, artists, and entrepreneurs. Together we will create enduring social and economic change in the neighbourhood, city and beyond.
Mission
312 Main is a centre for social and economic innovation, located in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
Values
Innovation and Entrepreneurship
We value creativity and thoughtful approaches, using technology and taking risks to overcome barriers and generate a system change for the benefit of all.
Co-operation
We value co-operative principles and collaboration seeking reciprocity among those we work with.
Social Justice and Economic Inclusion
We value fairness and equity, working toward progressive solutions that reduce economic and social inequalities in our society.
Arts and Culture
We value culture, diversity, and the power of artistic expression to facilitate deeper understanding, affect positive change, and create economic opportunity.
Reconciliation
We recognize the value of genuine engagement with First Nations and Indigenous Peoples in the neighbourhood, acknowledging the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations on which 312 Main is located and the importance of a reconciliation process in all community building efforts.

312 Main is a project of Vancity Community Foundation and has received generous investment and funding from Vancity Credit Union, the City of Vancouver, Western Economic Diversification Canada, Heritage Canada – Canada Cultural Spaces Fund, Creative BC, The Province of BC – Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Arts, and The Jim Green Foundation.
