Recap: Policy session (Tuesday November 24)

Tuesday marked our first session with Vancouver Plan Policy Working Group (PWG) staff.

Policy planner Aaron Lao provided a brief presentation that covered two main questions: "what is policy?" and "how do we (the City) develop policy?". The goal was to provide Navigators a little more context on the Vancouver Plan policy process and to share some high-level considerations for what staff think make for 'good policy'. Watch the presentation here.

This was followed by a series of breakout discussions, which provided staff and Navigators an opportunity to discuss how Vancouver Plan themes relate to their respective communities. Breakout sessions were facilitated by PWG staff from respective working groups working on four applied policy themes of the Vancouver Plan: An Affordable and Livable City, Complete and Connected Neighbourhoods, A City of Economic Health, and A Sustainable and Ecological City. Notes to be posted soon.
