The HVS Heritage Vancouver Society is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under public amenities.

In its fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, it reported $80K in revenue and $113K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
