Welcome to Living City
Sustainability and climate action have long been a part of the City's core values, policies and programs. To build a community that is resilient to future challenges, we must not only lead by example, but provide opportunities for residents and businesses to play a role in building a more sustainable community.


That's why we're introducing a new initiative called Living City. Living City represents all of the City's environmental sustainability initiatives. It's an opportunity to share what we're doing, connect with others, discuss ideas and work together towards a more sustainable community for future generations.

Read the Living City link and you will see the lie of climate change, the City brags that "Since 2005, we've reduced our corporate (city operations) emissions by 11% and our community-wide emissions have decreased by 10% per capita." PER CAPITA!!!! The density junkies of Vision North Van lead by Mayor Mussatto have pushed the population from 46,910 to 51,083. So we see the real density junkie plan, double the population of the City and you will reduce greenhouse gases "per capita" by 50%.


Of course, the actual greenhouse gases that the Mayor tears his public hair out proclaiming we have to prevent the collapse of our whole civilization is still the same.




If Vision North Van NDP municipal front group ever takes a majority of Council, the rate of increase in population will skyrocket as well the greenhouse gases they pretend they're cutting. This is what they are trying to Shape, if the non-Vision North Van councillors vote for the changes to the OCP that is being pushed on us by the Mayor and staff, they do not deserve the voting support of those who want to stop the insane level of development we are enduring.
