1-  Finding professionals.

Community meetings are a great place to meet people from our neighbourhood while developing a deeper familiarity with our community. It is all about creating a place of belonging and a sense of ownership. We never know, maybe we’ll discover a passion for local politics or activism along the way!

2-  Meet people, Hearing thoughts, opinions and ideas, Be their voice and representative.

Knowing people in our community is a great way to start learning what we can do to help. Being their voice. In order to get to know a community even better, We need to start building our network by getting out and meeting people and get to know our neighbors. Try to form a group of activists committed to carrying out the plan to improve our community, with friendly and fun community gathering, listen to each other and share the ideas. Everyone will have something to contribute and share, together we’ll be able to start getting things done.

3- Living affordably. 

Most communities offer significant incentives to developers to offset the cost of providing affordable housing units. The most common incentive is the ability to build increased density. Other common incentives include parking or design waivers, zoning variances, tax abatements, fee waivers, and expedited permitting. While a small number of communities seek to offer incentives to offset the cost of providing affordable units fully, incentives are seen as a way to reduce but not eliminate the economic impact on development in most programs.

4-Create financial incentives for businesses so they do stay on the North Shore – make North Vancouver a more attractive option than other municipalities.

5– Transportation.

* Advocate for an extensive managed lane network for group riders on our existing highways;

* Create incentives that encourage people to carpool, take public transit, or bike/e-bike;

* Establish a rapid transit link that connects the North Shore to the rest of the Lower Mainland;

* Encourage developers to factor transportation issues into their property development plans;

* Enhance our local roadways with safe, sustainable lanes for for bike/e-bike riders.

6- Fun community activities for kids, youth, adults and seniors.
