Our Official mailing Address : 312 Main St Vancouver, BC V6A 2T2
Our sincere thanks to the crew @ 312 Main. It is awesome to see community at work. BEPRA is happy to have next door a place such as 312 Main.
We believe many good things will come from this new hub here on the DTES / GAS TOWN / CHINA TOWN. Already we have community in action and cooperation. We are very thankful to 312 Main for providing BEPRA with the commercial / public postal mailing address and mail handling services. We are actively working on incorporating as a registered non profit and this support provided by 312 Main is another item on the roadmap achieved.
A shout out to Iris Yong and the little pup, Husain, Jeff and Albert . We Where invited to and did attend a private soft opening of the 2nd floor Co working community space. See images below.
We had a good time meeting and greeting each other as neighbors. Kelvin with The Aboriginal Front door (384 Main Street) was there as well and we spoke about our thoughts and concerns regarding Main street Proper and our stretch of the block. We look forward to cooperating so as to keep tidy our street fronts and stay connected and be a real active positive social force on what is in Canada’s Poorest Postal code.
We hope that you will support us in becoming a registered non profit organization to pursue the improvement of the lives of those living and working on Main street via social development endeavors and reaching out to the people and enterprises in the greater DTES
We currently are needing to raise aprox. $1200 – $1500.00 for legal and incorporation fees to establish BEPRA as a thriving charitable association. Please contact us today

Attention Iris Yong, Daniyah Shamsi, and or Vanessa Richards @312Main.ca
RE: BEPRA —-> BruceEriksenPlace.ca AND 312MAIN.CA
Hi Iris as per our conversation today. Some bullet points moving ahead.
Our Website Announcement re @312Main:
“BEPRA HAS AN OFFICIAL MAILING ADDRESS – 312 MAIN STREET VANCOUVER BC” : https://bruceeriksenplace.ca/bepra-has-an-official-mailing-address-312-main-street-vancouver-bc/
Furthermore pursuant to our conversation today.
Looking to explore and network regarding funding for non profit status for BEPRA so that tenants / residents will have a legal voice as an association to remedy issues with Bruce Eriksen Place.
Re: Meeting with the Board of NHS (NEIGHBOURHOOD HOUSING SOCIETY) coming soon.
About NHS as we know it thus far: https://bruceeriksenplace.ca/about/nhs/
Our first contact with a NHS Board Member: ” BEPRA just had a call with Lorraine M Copas – A director of N.H.S. ”
https://bruceeriksenplace.ca/bepra-just-had-a-call-with-lorraine-m-copas-a-director-of-n-h-s/
Furthermore, we are seeking to have a short meeting with perhaps Daniyah Shamsi and or Vanessa Richards @312Main Re: our stretch of Main Street. Issues of hygiene, human waste, graffiti, public drug and alcohol consumption, securing our entrances while keeping and fostering inclusion. We are inviting The Listening Post and The Aboriginal Front Door to attend and observe and perhaps share a prepared statement.
A Community Approach.
Looking to have a 3rd party community member to sit in on the meeting with NHS and BEPRA.
Perhaps we could have 312 donate the conference space for said one time meeting.
We have sent portions of this email to The Aboriginal Front Door 384 @ Main Street info@abfrontdoor.com
I would like to speak to you about the above. Perhaps some one from The Aboriginal Front Door and / or The Listening Post as well.
Thank You for your time, attention, and consideration of this email.
