Vancouver, City of: federal grants and contributions

The Project will implement or enhance natural infrastructure distributed across the city, including rainwater tree trenches, wetlands, stream restoration, and hybrid infrastructure such as bioswales and permeable land cover. Once complete, this project will improve water quality and provide climate adaptation and increase flood resilience, species protection, and biodiversity. Furthermore, it will improve livability for residents by reducing urban heat island effects, improving air quality and creating more access to nature.

The projected significant increase in the seniors population, current lack of capacity in facilities and programs, and feedback from community members, staff and stakeholders all indicate that there is a need for a new seniors centre in South Vancouver/Sunset. Having a Seniors Centre in the neighbourhood will allow for the community of seniors to enjoy the cultural identity of the neighborhood and to feel at home as they proudly share their culture and language. This Project will support improved access to and/or increased quality of community, cultural, and/or recreational infrastructure.

The project will also add more bike racks to increase the amount of bike parking in the park.
