This panel presentation will share the experience of developing the first multi-jurisdictional sea level rise strategy in Metro Vancouver and possibly in BC. Located on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish First Nations, the North Shore region of Metro Vancouver extends over 65 km of Salish Sea shoreline. Sea level rise is a significant concern, as coastal land uses include port, industrial and commercial, critical transportation and power infrastructure, high-density mixed-use and single-family residential, park, and sensitive ecosystems. The session will explain how the District of North Vancouver, City of North Vancouver, District of West Vancouver, North Shore Emergency Management, Port of Vancouver, and Squamish Nation collaborated to develop the award-winning North Shore Sea Level Rise Risk Assessment and Adaptive Management Strategy (2021). Panellists will review the project’s process, explain how partners worked across jurisdictions, what the technical analysis revealed, the communications and engagement tactics used, and lessons learned. Attendees will learn how the strategy is being implemented with a new Coastal Development Permit Area in West Vancouver.
Winnipeg Metropolitan Region has prepared Plan 2050 as a 30-year blueprint focusing on five key themes to ensure communities can succeed together when faced with complex and interdependent issues such as jobs and transportation, one environment, infrastructure and service needs. A first regional plan, the approach is collaborative and focuses on building strong communities, sharing data that will be central to understanding the region’s progress, and sharing solutions. This session will explore how the unique experiences in the Winnipeg Metro Region have been captured with emphasis on global priorities. Building on best practice and local leadership, this plan sets out a regional approach to planning that will benefit others interested in a strong economy, resiliency, sustainability, and Indigenous engagement in a regional plan.
