Ambleside local area plan ‘101’

Positive Voices held a public information meeting alongside the district’s Ambleside local area plan (LAP) engagement.

Our panel discussion answered questions such as:

• What is a local area plan?

• What are West Van’s challenges?

• How could the LAP help address housing needs?

• How does the engagement work? Can we reach a consensus?

Background: Ambleside Local Area Plan (District of West Vancouver)

The panellists were:

• Murray Mollard (chair), Executive Director, North Shore Community Resources;

• Marta Farevaag, a distinguished urban planner who’s worked on many projects including National Historic Sites Rideau Hall and Parliament Hill;

• Andy Krawczyk, longtime West Van engaged citizen and member of the North Shore Community Housing Action Committee (CHAC); and

• Alex Boston, former Director of SFU’s Renewable Cities program.
