RePlan’s vision and mission statements and adopted principles provide a solid foundation that guides all of the efforts of RePlan and its subcommittees in support of community planning, governance and lease renewal for False Creek South residents and businesses.
These goal statements are a starting point as a draft for discussion to aid in all of our understanding of what can and should be done. As well, they will serve to inform the discussions underway with the City of Vancouver to establish a work plan that sets out specific tasks to be completed by the City, RePlan or both.
