EVENTS
citiesPLUS events held to develop
the 100-year plan for Greater Vancouver ended in 2003. Information about those events can
still be found here for information purposes.
CitiesPLUS
is intended to be an inclusive process, obtaining input from
a broad range of groups and individuals, from both around
Greater Vancouver and across Canada.
There
are several opportunities to financially support the project.
Organizations can contribute to citiesPLUS
and participate in shaping the GVRD's sustainable future.
They will
demonstrate their leadership in long-term sustainable planning;
enhance their pubic profile
and gain international exposure to the new economy.
