Add StudioX as a preferred source on GoogleAbout 8,600 Vancouver catch basins are already looked after by volunteers. The city is looking for more help as the program reaches its 10th year, with particular need in Downtown, Mount Pleasant and Kitsilano.
Residents can use the city’s online map to select a drain near home or work. Volunteers clear leaves so rainwater can flow and alert the city when a basin needs attention from crews.
