On July 22nd 2024, West Vancouver District Council voted (5-1) to close public beach access at the foot of 30th Street and sell it for private residential development. Only Councillor Christine Cassidy voted against the measure. We are opposed to this sale, and believe that public access to our shoreline is priceless. The shoreline access points that remain in West Vancouver are a vital part of our community’s character, inviting all community members to explore, to cherish, and to protect our fragile coastline. These are not undervalued assets to be sold into the private real estate market, but rather, a beloved part of the environment and heritage of West Vancouver.

Please sign the petition to make clear to the West Vancouver District Council that our community does not support this loss of public shoreline access.

Please consider donating to our GoFundMe fundraiser. All donations will be used to protect the future of this public access.

Thank you!
