2 News Release October 1, 2014 Historic Joint Venture Will Bring New Life To Three Vancouver Properties VANCOUVER - COAST SALISH TERRITORY The Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations and Canada Lands Company, announced at a news conference today that they have completed the acquisition of three former Government of Canada properties in Vancouver. The Nations and Canada Lands Company also announced an historic joint venture partnership that establishes and equal ownership interest in the lands with 50% collectively held by the Nations and the other half held by Canada Lands. The agreement will see the joint venture partners working side-by-side with the local communities and municipalities to establish new visions for each of these sites. As an initial step, the partners will complete their due diligence with a series of studies that will provide a thorough understanding of each of the three properties, followed by the launch of an extensive consultation process in conjunction with the City of Vancouver and District of West Vancouver that will provide local communities and the general public a forum to discuss ideas and views about the future of the sites. The consultation process is anticipated to begin in the new year. There are no preconceived plans for these sites; the partners are starting with a blank slate. Consultations and engagement will begin, plans prepared, support and approvals sought, and finally the sites will be developed over a number of years.

16 26.2 Jericho Lands Planning Process Approved If the redevelopment of the Jericho Lands is proposed, the City should ensure that a major study of future uses of the site takes place with significant public consultation. Consistent with the approach taken to create the WPG Community Vision, workshops and other consultations including a survey of WPG residents should be held to help determine the neighbourhood s view on issues related to the development of the Jericho Lands not covered in the WPG Community Vision. There should be early feedback to City Council on the interests and concerns of the WPG community before any key decisions are made. The outcome of a Jericho Lands planning process should be a plan for the site developed in consultation with the WPG community; the plan should be considered when implementing Vision Directions and pursuing other City initiatives in WPG.
