Jericho Lands planning program
About the Jericho Lands planning program
The Jericho Lands are within the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. The planning program is a comprehensive planning process which will create a policy statement to guide future development of the 90-acre site.
The program is being developed at the request of the landowners, a joint venture partnership between the MST Development Corporation, and Canada Lands Company (CLC).
The planning program will explore priorities including:
- Ways to advance our collective work toward reconciliation
- Creating a complete community with a range of housing options with different income levels and tenures
- Providing new housing within a walking distance of existing and future transit routes, including a potential SkyTrain extension to UBC
- Providing shops, services, childcare, and employment space to support the new community and the rest of the city
- Recognizing and celebrating cultural and heritage assets
- Creating new parks and open spaces, and a package of other community amenities
