Should Vancouver's 17 Neighbourhoods Allow 6-Storey Buildings and More Local Shops?

Vancouver, BC

Vancouver wants to transform 17 neighbourhoods into walkable "villages" with more housing and shops. The plan would allow apartment buildings up to 6 storeys where mostly single-family homes exist today. New zoning would also bring more stores and...

Why This Matters: Live in Vancouver? This could change what gets built on your street. More apartments mean more neighbours—but also more housing options for young people, families, and seniors priced out of the market. Shops and cafés within walking distance could make daily errands easier and reduce car trips.

More housing near transit could ease the crunch—but it also means major construction and density changes. The province is bypassing local planning rules...

Why This Matters: Drive in Ontario? These rules would affect you. If you're convicted of dangerous driving causing death, you'd lose your licence forever. Even a roadside stop could mean a 90-day suspension before any court date. Truckers face steeper fines for phone use and speed limiter violations.

Calgary is rebuilding 14 Avenue N.W. between 24 Street and 14 Street because the road is in rough shape. They're asking residents whether to add a multi-use path for cyclists and pedestrians, install a roundabout at 19 Street, and remove some street...

Should Ontario Require Public Agencies to Buy Ontario-Made Vehicles and Construction Materials?

Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement (ON)
