Join us at the Expo ‘86 at 40 Symposium to explore shared goals for this last undeveloped piece of Vancouver’s downtown.

Expo ‘86 at 40 is a half-day symposium that will convene landowners, community leaders, Hogan’s Alley Society, City representatives, academics, and Vancouver residents.

We’ll hear updates from the City of Vancouver about the Northeast False Creek Plan, and identify opportunities for working together to advance the Plan.

Left empty since Expo ‘86 ended, the Northeast False Creek Plan presents a generational opportunity to reconnect the Downtown core and fulfill reconciliation and redress goals. Hear from landowners, Planning Department staff, Hogan’s Alley Society, representatives from Chinatown, and more, about the opportunities to unlock the potential for this last undeveloped piece of Vancouver’s downtown.

Join us to:

• Hear from Josh White (General Manager of Planning, Urban Design and Sustainability at the City of Vancouver), Djaka Blais (Executive Director, Hogan’s Alley Society), Geoff Meggs (former City Councillor)

• Explore shared goals for Northeast False Creek that benefit all stakeholders

• Align visions from landowners and community groups with City objectives

• Identify practical steps and partnership opportunities to accelerate progress
