Cambie-18th Plaza construction

In response to the popularity and community support of the temporary neighbourhood plaza at Cambie St and West 18th Avenue, we’re transforming it into a permanent space.

This permanent plaza will provide a welcoming public space that supports community connections and events for years to come.

What's happeningCambie-18th permanent plaza is in the works

The new permanent plaza is under construction and set to open in spring 2026.

Looking for a place to rest or gather while the plaza is closed for construction? The plaza space 1 block away at Cambie Street and West 17th Avenue remains open.

How this construction may affect you

Plaza stewardship partnerships

Once a plaza is designed and built, there’s a need to plan for how this space will be cared for on an on-going basis. We do this through plaza stewardship partnerships. These partnerships, in combination with public feedback, aim to make sure the plazas are welcoming, accessible, and inclusive.

This plaza is cared for by the Cambie Village BIA .
