Join New West City Councillor Daniel Fontaine who will be hosting a special townhall forum and expert panel discussion regarding the pros and cons of densification in Connaught Heights. Everyone living/working in New Westminster is welcome to attend.
Connaught Heights is a low density single family neighbourhood and home to the 22nd Street SkyTrain. The community will soon be the subject of a formal Master Plan process. Join Coun. Fontaine at this special townhall forum to discuss with local residents how densification could transform Connaught Heights into a low carbon, vibrant neighbourhood that can become home to a much more diverse choice of housing.

- Michael Mortensen is a registered urban planner, director of Liveable City Planning Ltd. and adjunct professor at the UBC Sauder School of Business. Michael brings 20 years of urban planning and development experience to his work managing planning and development for transformative real estate projects in Greater Vancouver.
