Why Advance Richmond exists

A stronger voice
for residents.

ARCA grew from Richmond residents organizing around local concerns and a shared belief that meaningful public input should shape our city.

Our role is constructive: bring neighbours together, encourage transparent decisions, and advance practical, accountable leadership across City Council and education.
