Once again, the City of Vancouver is looking for a new planner director. What should we be looking for — and what are the challenges a new planner must face?



The SFU City Program is bringing together some of the the City's previous planning directors.

• Ray Spaxman

• Ann McAfee

• Larry Beasley

• Brent Toderian

We're asking them to identify the questions we should be asking not just of the candidates but of ourselves: What vision for our city are we asking of our planner, staff and council?  How do we generate the enthusiasm and capacity to build partnerships — and a passion for our city and region? Come join us.
