WERA Community Forum 1401 Comox & 1215 Bidwell WMV .wmv

About 100 people turned out for the West End Residents Associations (WERA) community forum on Nov 21, 2009 (Saturday) at the Empire Landmark Hotel. During the two-hour meeting, participants shared their questions and concerns about two rezoning/development applications (1215 Bidwell, and 1401 Comox) that could trigger a wave of radical changes in the West End, despite the absence of an up-to-date community plan. It was clear at the meeting that these two applications have forced people to articulate what they DO NOT WANT, but the meeting also had a proactive tone with the idea that now is the time to articulate a vision for what the community DOES WANT for its own future.
