Alan's Vision for North Vancouver

A community where:

• our natural environment is respected and its preservation and enhancement are front and centre in everyone's minds.
• people of all ages can feel safe and secure at all times.
• where our seniors can expect to live out their lives in whatever form of housing they choose.
• where our young people can find all sorts of productive and constructive outlets for their creative and physical energy.
• where nobody "falls through the cracks."
• where it is relatively easy to move from one place to another on foot, by car, bicycle and most importantly, public transit.
• people can feel free to express themselves without fear.
• diverse viewpoints are encouraged and respected.
• literacy is fostered through an excellent, accessible Public Library system.
• natural and organized recreation services are accessible to all

A community that:

• encourages and facilitates young families through support of childcare initiatives. accords complete respect and acceptance to people of all creeds, colours and countries of origin.
• encourages diverse housing alternatives that enable young people to remain in the community and that are accessible to young families and seniors alike.
• supports business and industry enabling more of our citizens to work close to home without having to leave the North Shore.

A community that succeeds because nobody fails!
