False Creek Residents Association
About the FCRA
The False Creek Residents Association is a volunteer-run neighbourhood group dedicated to improving the quality of life for everyone that lives around and visits False Creek—the heart of the city of Vancouver.
When the FRCA was first formed in 2005, founding members came from a number of established neighbourhood-specific organizations. These caring, community-minded groups continue to have an interest in improving livability around False Creek and its environs.
The FCRA is dedicated to promoting the interests of its residents. We advocate for our neighbours and endeavour to provide information, education and relevant news regarding our community.
