Since 2008, Car Free Vancouver Society has hosted Car Free Days along various main streets to nurture and grow the car free culture. By blocking off major thoroughfares, Car Free Days gave people the chance to experience what cities could be like with more space for pedestrians, not cars.
In 2023, Car Free Vancouver Society is committed to car free spaces that grow inclusivity and diversity, making our communities healthier and more vibrant. Our mission is to nurture and grow car-free spaces and culture in collaboration with local communities. We are excited to announce our dates for Car Free Days Vancouver 2023:

EXHIBITION - Your Art Your Reflections: Multiculturalism, Diversity and Anti-Racism
2023-09-08 09:00 - 2023-11-09 17:00 | Place Des Arts, 1120 Brunette Avenue, Coquitlam, BC, Canada
Attend this event to view my original painting “Cosmos Within” in person!
Asian Impact Society presents “Your Art Your Reflections: Multiculturalism, Diversity and Anti-Racism” art exhibition.
This year’s theme is multiculturalism, diversity and anti-racism. Artwork submitted should address at least one of these themes.
For example, the artwork could be a depiction of the artist’s personal story, their interpretation of what these themes mean, a reflection of the history of these themes in our society, or a message to the viewing public. It is up to the artist.
Through this exhibition, our goal is to educate the viewing public on why multiculturalism and diversity is important and why there is no place for racism in our communities. Education through the arts is one of the many steps we can take to building an anti-racist, diversity-embracing, multicultural society where we can all learn from each other and build stronger communities.

The Festival was founded in 1978 and held in Stanley Park. It relocated to Jericho Beach Park in its second year.
