The Proposed Project
Squamish Nation is seeking a Lease to construct a 12 tower mixed residential-commercial development within the Kilsilano IR6 reserve in the City of Vancouver.  The development is proposed over 4 phases and will include approximately 6,000 residential units.

While we respect the right of the Squamish Nation to develop these reserve lands, we have concerns about adverse environmental effects of the development as proposed. You can page through our 5-page Submission with its 23-page attachment below:
