Eby: 'While there remain some details to be addressed, we are confident they will be resolved in the coming months.'
Premier David Eby announced Friday that his government will make the necessary amendments to the Vancouver Charter to satisfy Mayor Ken Sim’s wish to abolish the elected park board.
Eby’s statement comes the same week that Sim’s office released a letter from the three Nations that indicates their support for the abolition of the board. “This announcement welcomes a new era of parks and recreation in Vancouver and provides certainty to the City, our valued staff, and Vancouverites as a whole. While we are disappointed that this transition will not be taking place this current legislative session, the Premier’s commitment affords us additional time to collaborate with staff to ensure a smooth transition."
'Can been kicked down road' Bastyovanszky said Friday that Eby's commitment to the "next legislative session" gives him and others opposed to Sim's move more time to defeat the mayor's plan to abolish the board.
