The decisions that govern, plan, and pay for our transit, roads, cycling, and walking networks are incredibly complex and require good public engagement. However, citizens and stakeholders are being inundated with contradictory information around the current state and future direction of our transportation system.
Join us at two public dialogues that will launch Moving in a Livable Region, a new initiative of the SFU Centre for Dialogue that seeks to engage and educate Metro Vancouver citizens and stakeholders on transportation issues. Our panelists will discuss transportation, the economy, and what is needed to ensure high livability in the region.
Panelists include:
– Nancy Olewiler, Director of the School of Public Policy at Simon Fraser University
– Ken Peacock, Chief Economist and Vice President of the Business Council of British Columbia
– Shauna Sylvester, Fellow at the Simon Fraser University Centre for Dialogue, Executive Director of Carbon Talks and SFU Public Square
– Special Guest Moderator: Marnie McGregor, Assistant Director at the City of Vancouver
