Imagine West End Waterfront

Help create a 30-year plan for the parks, beaches and connections to and through the West End waterfront!

What's happening?

We are planning for a West End waterfront that’s a welcoming and joyful place for everyone – a place where humans and nature can thrive together for generations to come. This plan will help shape the direction of this area for the next 30 years and beyond. We hope to shape the future of this beloved area with you. This includes formal conversations with the three Host Nations: the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish Nation) and sə̓lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation).

Learn about the design approaches

Three preliminary design approaches were developed to help guide the long-term plan. Each approach emphasizes and celebrates a different quality of the West End waterfront. These approaches are not meant as stand-alone options. Elements from each can be combined, and will be developed and integrated into a preferred design concept, based on input we gather through engagement with the public, stakeholders and rightsholders – the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh.

*note: We are at an early stage in the design process, so certain elements may not be included or might end up in different locations in the final plan.
