Through our Community Contributions program MEC donates gear, funding and in-kind support, helping us all keep space for adventure.
See our Community Contributions programs for details and information on how to apply.
Not-for-profit groups that have similar values to MEC can use our floor space free of charge to educate the public about current environmental or outdoor issues, or to collect public input regarding future park or government initiatives. Local clubs can also spend time here, letting people know they exist and what they have to offer.
MEC is dedicated to nurturing partnerships with community-based organizations and environmental groups and the community room in the North Vancouver store is available at no charge to local outdoor clubs, ENGOs or NGOs that have a similar mandate as MEC.

The room can be reserved for up to three weeks in advance and can be booked on short notice pending availability. We have a projector, white boards, and flip chart and the room can accommodate groups up to 15 people.
