Thanks Bert. I'll be going to the Vancouver one as long as I don't have work, hopefully to the second stream.

Did anyone make it to this? If so, how was it?

There's still a few next week. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make any of them.

It was great. I made it to the one in Coquitlam and was tabled with David Driscoll and planners representing Pomo and Burnaby (also I had a little chat with Ann McAfee during the break).

I signed up for section 1 (transportation, economy, and finance), and made a pitch on maintaining intensification in the growth concentration area despite the new transit corridor concept replacing it come the Livable Region Strategic Plan review.
