VANCOUVER – Vancouver is looking to carefully co-ordinate summer construction projects with the return of major special summer events
“We are thrilled to be welcoming back so many cherished special events to Vancouver. They are an important part of fostering vibrant, thriving communities across the city, especially this year as we continue to recover from the pandemic,” said Lisa Parker, director of public space and street use, in a statement. “During this busy season, our staff work hard to balance special events and filming, while accommodating the necessary upgrades to our roads, sewers and watermains.”
