Urban meadows
Since 2020, we've been trialing urban meadows across the city to increase biodiversity, create new habitat for plants and pollinators and support climate resilience. In 2022, we will be extending the pilot to roadside boulevards and medians. Learn more at https://vancouver.ca/parks-recreation-culture/pollinator-meadows
Conversations in canoes - Sea level rise
"Conversations in Canoes” is a series that takes a deeper dive into False Creek. We explore the ecology, day to day routine and areas at risk to sea level rise and future flooding through conversations in, you guessed it, a canoe! Climate change poses many challenges for a coastal city like Vancouver, including rising sea levels and more frequent and intense flooding along our shoreline. False Creek is a vulnerable area, and current shoreline infrastructure is not designed to withstand future flooding, which is why we're working on a long-term plan to develop a Coastal Adaptation Plan (CAP) for the False Creek and build Vancouver’s climate resilience. Visit www.shapeyourcity.ca/sea2city to learn more about False Creek and sign up for a webinar.
Vancouver’s Beaches Are Disappearing, How the City Is Fighting Back
'Coastal squeeze' will impact everything from fun-in-the-sun recreation to shoreline communities to essential biodiversity as the city works to implement a plan to address sea level rise. The Weather Network's Mia Gordon reports.
