The Punjabi Market Collective (PMC) is a non-profit organization made up of passionate advocates, artists and entrepreneurs who are working towards revitalizing Vancouver’s historic Punjabi Market through placemaking, cultural programming, and artistic initiatives.
Once a booming cultural hub, over the last few decades, the market has become overlooked. In an effort to prevent gentrification and displacement, with the help of Vancouver City Councillor Pete Fry, the PMC was able to bring forward a motion to help revitalize the Punjabi Market neighbourhood by directing city resources to the market. The motion was unanimously passed by council on June 19th, 2019.
