Western Canada: First Nation-owned housing development to transform part of Vancouver GlobeBC
The City of Vancouver has gone through several notable growth spurts over the years.
Soon, some of the most established and well-heeled neighbourhoods, communities with popular beaches and abundant green space, will undergo a significantly different transformation through the development of land previously off-limits., the changes will challenge Vancouver’s civic politicians and residents, because these won’t be the usual private-sector developments. They’ll be planned and built by Indigenous groups.
The Squamish Nation plans to develop a 4.5-hectare site at the south end of the Burrard Bridge that many Vancouver residents may have been surprised to learn is part of the Squamish Nation’s reserve. Both developments will likely add thousands of housing units to the neighbourhoods, adding weight to the case for a subway through the west side, and changing the demographics of this part of the city.Indigenous leaders involved in the projects are aware they will be watched carefully, both with hope and apprehension.
