The symposium 'City of Sustainable Neighbourhoods: How Do We Get There' was hosted by the Vancouver City Planning Commission in April 2011. Many neighbourhood-based and city-wide community organizations were invited to collaborate on strategies and actions to help the City and neighbourhoods evolve as a 'sustainable city of sustainable neighbourhoods.'
