 Michael Geller

It is the beginning of a new year, generally a time filled with optimism for the possibility of the year ahead and certainly that is what we would hope for all the citizens of Vancouver and the city itself.  There are, however, many proposals on the "table" for Vancouver that can profoundly affect its liveability as well as its affordability and thus, diversity and sustainability.  

Currently there are many major projects, such as the Pearson Dogwood lands, Oakridge expansion, the Bus Barn at 41st and Oak, the Heather lands, Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Jericho & UBC developments as well as the Squamish development at the South end of the Burrard Street bridge and who can forget the Safeway site proposal at Broadway and Commercial?

We have asked Michael Geller, noted architect, planner, real estate consultant and property developer with four decades' experience in the public, private and institutional sectors to share his insights and views on these matters with you and he has generously agreed. 

Come to hear Michael speak and bring your questions.
