Story
Think Vancouver went online after an idea to evolve a forum from the Downtown Vancouver Association to keep our community better informed about issues, initiatives, and ideas being explored in the city and provide opportunities for people to contribute their point of view. Shortly after the domain name was registered the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation began a series of programs called Think Vancouver which drew community attention to topics of interest to our community.
Ray LeBlond, the President of the Downtown Vancouver Association coined the name ThinkVancouver which was introduced in a short film describing the Downtown Vancouver Association.
www.thinkvancouver.com. went online on July 26, 2005 with the following introduction:
“Think Vancouver is a place where our community can become informed, make connections, have conversations, contribute information and ideas, and explore opportunities that contribute to our community.
Think Vancouver gathers information about what we know and what we are doing, gives contributors to our community the opportunity to tell their story, and engages our community in exploring ideas on what we could do or do differently to create a community that works.”
