A panel discussion on the upcoming Metro Vancouver transportation referendum

With the clock ticking, and few public details about the 2014 transportation referendum, this is an opportunity to enter into a dialogue about what has worked, and what hasn't in past referendum votes and ballot initiatives. Join us to hear from three seasoned campaigners about eﬀective strategies and lessons learned. Why is the referendum important? Transportation choices will lay out land-use patterns and the future of our livelihoods in Metro Vancouver for the coming decades. Strategic investments and pathways will affect the environmental, economic, and social well-being of residents around the lower mainland. Transportation accounts for around one third of BC's total greenhouse gas emissions. We would like to thank our partners at the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions for their support.
