Kia Ora Vancouver is incorporated under the British Columbia, Canada Societies Act and is an independent Society in British Columbia.

Kia Ora Vancouver is governed by a Board of Directors who are all New Zealanders, who volunteer their time to make sure New Zealanders arriving or living in Vancouver are made to feel at home and have a central point to communicate, socialise, and reconnect with other Kiwis. We organise events, social gatherings, and guide Kiwis through many questions throughout the year. Waitangi Day, a Summer BBQ and our Christmas party are all big draws. Our Facebook page, group and website provide information on tips and hits for living in Vancouver along with work and travel related information.
