GWAC recognizes the importance of community activism throughout the city that is building community engagement and moderating the growth in large scale residential developments. We also acknowledge the important contribution to this development from former planners who love the city, have made a defining impact on it. They are now sought after to shape cities around the world yet continue to care enormously about Vancouver and work to ensure its future. We consider them essential allies in our effort to maintain Vancouver as one of the world's most liveable cities.
We see Brian Jackson's decision to retire after three difficult years as head of city planning as a natural transition, and hope that it will lead to improvement on City Council's stated goals of community engagement and consultation in planning. We are convinced that the members of the city Planning Department are skilled, thoughtful and committed to these same goals, and we look forward to positive and constructive collaboration with both city planners and councillors going forward.
