This comprehensive planning program will help us create a policy statement to guide the future development of the Jericho Lands.
The program is being developed at the request of the Jericho Lands owners, a joint venture partnership between the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh (MST) Partnership, and Canada Lands Company (CLC).
About the Jericho Lands
The Jericho Lands are a 36-hectare (90 acre) area in Vancouver’s West Point Grey neighbourhood bounded by W 4th Ave, Highbury St, W 8th Ave, and Discovery St.
The site is within the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations (MST) and owned by the MST Nations and Canada Land Company (CLC).
What's happening
Pop-up information booths
We'll be hosting a series of pop-up information booths at community festivals throughout the summer. The first two of these events will be Point Grey Fiesta on Saturday, June 22 at Trimble Park followed by Greek Day on Sunday, June 23.
We'll be on site at the festivals to present project information, discuss early public feedback, and listen to your ideas.
Stay tuned for announcements of future pop-up information booth dates and locations.

Planning process
The Jericho Lands will go through a comprehensive planning program that will help guide its future redevelopment to create a new community that is sustainable, socially and culturally inclusive, and highly livable.
The planning program will explore options that address important priorities including:
- Ways to advance our collective work toward reconciliation
- Creating a complete community with a range of housing options with different income levels and tenures
- Providing new housing within walking distance of existing and future frequent transit routes, including a potential Skytrain extension to UBC
- Providing shops, services, childcare, and employment space to support the new community and the rest of the city
- Recognizing and celebrating cultural and heritage assets
- Creating new parks and open spaces, and a comprehensive package of other community amenities to be determined through the planning process
