We would like to hear from you. We are looking for your feedback as we develop a policy statement for the Jericho Lands. We will use this page to provide project updates and ask for your input at different stages of the planning program.
The Jericho Lands planning program is a comprehensive planning process which will help create a policy statement to guide future development of the site.
The program is being developed at the request of the landowners, a joint venture partnership between the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh (MST) Partnership, and the Canada Lands Company (CLC).
The policy statement will create a framework which will guide future redevelopment of the site and help create a new community that is sustainable, socially and culturally inclusive, and highly livable.
The planning program will explore options that address important 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 comprehensive package of other community amenities to be determined through the process

The landowners’ design team has been working with staff over the past few months to build an understanding of the Jericho Lands and its surroundings. A summary of this understanding is presented in the Site Analysis panels (previously referred to as ‘topic explorations’). This analysis provides a high-level overview of the Jericho Lands site as it is today, and will serve as a foundation for more detailed policy development and design work that is to come.
We would like to know if there is anything we should add to our understanding of the site. Please take some time to reviewContinue reading

We would like to know if there is anything we should add to our understanding of the site. Please take some time to review the site analysis panels and share your thoughts by completing the brief survey. The survey will be open for feedback until Friday, March 12, 2021.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the draft Guiding Principles survey. The survey is now closed. Staff will review and analyse your comments and report out on the findings this Fall.
Your feedback will help us finalise the Guiding Principles, which will be incorporated into the Jericho Lands Policy Statement where they will provide high-level direction for future development on the site.
