Earlier this week, the Mayor was in Toronto to attend the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Big City Mayors Caucus (BCMC), and outlined the City of Vancouver’s EcoDensity Initiative (www.ecodensity.org). He urged other Mayors to consider adopting similar policies in their cities, noting that “Canadian cities need to be leaders in addressing global climate change.”
He was also appointed Co-Chair of the Big City Mayors Working Group on Housing, an advocacy committee that will look at issues of housing affordability and access. The Mayor of London, Ontario, will join Mayor Sullivan as co-chair in advocating for increased federal government support for housing programs in cities.
