Boards and Commissions

The Mayor and City Council appoint individuals to 26 different committees, councils and commissions. Members of these bodies offer recommendations, provide advice and feedback on issues including land use, parking, parks and recreation, transportation, housing, and other issues facing Vancouver and the greater region.

Each individual board and commission is tasked with one or more purpose (regulatory, policy-making or advisory).
