Commemoration Framework
繁體中文 | 简体中文 | ਪੰਜਾਬੀ | Tagalog | Tiếng Việt | Español
Help us shape how we commemorate in monuments, memorials, plaques and place names.
Statues, public art, memorials and public spaces that commemorate historical figures and events help tell a place's story. However, Vancouver’s existing monuments and names do not accurately reflect the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) or səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations’ unique rights and ongoing presence here, or a complete, accurate and equitable histories of this place.
How to Get Involved:
Watch our short video (also available below) to learn why a complete, accurate and equitable commemorative landscape is important.
A survey and mapping tool were open from Nov. 22 - Dec. 10, 2023. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Next Steps:
Follow us on social media @CityofVancouver (Instagram, Facebook, X) or visit the Culture page to find out when we release the engagement summary and Council Report in 2025.
