Victoria Downtown

Residents Association

The Victoria Downtown Residents Association (VDRA) is the official community organization representing people living in Victoria’s Downtown neighbourhood.

We work to build community in the neighbourhood by hosting free events and programs and by leading projects to make Downtown a better place to live. We also strive to provide a voice for Downtown residents at City Hall by understanding their needs and advocating for them.

There are a number of ways that you can get involved, from attending events or volunteering at them to becoming a member or joining our board or one of our committees.
