Clarification of our position on natural gas
We are not banning the use of natural gas, despite claims to the contrary in a misinformed opinion piece in The Province newspaper. Learn more.
The Greenest City Action Plan is a strategy for staying on the leading edge of urban sustainability.
We are working with Council, residents, businesses, other organizations, and all levels of government to implement this plan.
Our vision
Our vision is to create opportunities today, while building:
- A strong local economy
- Vibrant and inclusive neighbourhoods
- Internationally recognized city that meets the needs of generations to come
Through a set of measurable and attainable targets, we are putting Vancouver on the path to becoming the greenest city in the world.
