Vancouver's City Hall Campus long range plan - part of the Broadway Plan - will destroy City Hall Park unless we act now.

Even as Mayor Ken Sim talks about planting more trees across the city, the well-established canopy right outside his office door will be uprooted and paved over as part of the City Hall Campus portion of the Broadway Plan.

As of June/July 2024, all 3 of the proposed City Hall Campus open space concepts under review involve replacing this vital oasis at the heart of the city, with a largely paved public plaza to express "civic pride."

Please join us in telling the Mayor and all 10 City Councillors that:

• City Hall Park - including its lawn, grove of mature trees and benches, Community and Japanese Gardens - is absolutely perfect the way it exists today.
•  As both human and wildlife residents of Vancouver grapple with hotter and drier summers, eliminating lush parkland is irresponsible, reckless, and the opposite of civic pride. 
• Please REJECT ALL 3 of the current City Hall Campus Open Space concepts and instruct the architecture and planning team to focus instead on the redevelopment of Helena Gutteridge Plaza.
