Event Details
Vancouver's small and local businesses make our city great, and yet they sometimes have a tense relationship with the City's government. Affordable leasing, permits wait times, and zoning/licensing restrictions are just some of the issues that concern local businesses. At this event, we'll make sure the next mayor and council hears about the issues directly from businesses like yours, and we'll hear how they plan to make changes to create a better environment to do business in the city.
Latash Maurice Nahannee, Squamish elder and Indigenous Culture Consultant, joins us as a special guest.
