Round 1 - Listen and learn engagement

The Imagine West End Waterfront team is excited to share what we heard from the first round of community engagement - Listen and Learn. Round 1 of engagement took place over two-and-half month period from late August to late-November 2021.

People shared what they love, what they would change, and what is important for the future of this special place.

We heard that you want the future West End waterfront to be a place that is:

- Visibly acknowledging Host Nations’(Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Peoples) territory and living connection to lands and waters
- Safer, accessible, and inclusive
- Environmentally and ecologically healthy
- Multi-functional and flexible for a variety of uses and experiences
- Serviced with improved facilities
