We’re encouraged to see that residents of the Luugat, St. Helen’s Hotel, and Granville Villa will receive the housing and supports they need. The Luugat has a clear plan in place, and we look forward to continued communication with the @CityofVancouver and the Provincial government regarding next steps for St. Helen’s and Granville Villa. This is an important step toward allowing Granville Street to function as the vibrant Entertainment District it was meant to be. @KenSimCity @christineeboyle

❄️ Snow flurries are in the air, Vancouver! Rain is expected later today as well. Moving around the city today? Take care, allow extra time & drive for the conditions. Our crews have been out pre‑treating priority routes & actively monitoring conditions to help keep you moving.

Yesterday, I signed an Agreement in Principle with Minister @christineeboyle to replace the Luugat Hotel, St. Helen's Hotel, and Granville Villa in the Granville Entertainment District with new housing located outside the area. For months, we have been calling for a clear plan to transition residents out of these aging buildings and into better, purpose-built housing with the supports they need. This agreement is an important step forward, helping residents move into higher-quality housing outside the Granville Entertainment District while allowing Granville Street to move forward as a safe and vibrant entertainment corridor. This is real progress for Granville Street, for local businesses, and for workers.

I was honoured to attend the BIV Influential Women in Business Awards yesterday to celebrate some of the incredible women shaping Vancouver’s future. It's always important to remember: when women lead, our entire city grows stronger. Congratulations to all the inspiring nominees and award recipients, your leadership is making a real difference in our community.

❄️️ Colder temperatures and a chance of freezing rain or flurries are in the forecast this evening. ⁣ ⁣ 🚗 Drivers: Please slow down, drive for the conditions Keep an eye out for pedestrians & cyclists 🚶‍♂️🚲 People walking & rolling: Be seen with bright clothes or lights

Endless ways to experience #FIFAFanFestival™ Vancouver ⚽✨ Eat, drink, cheer, shop, repeat. From family-friendly fun to headline performances at the amphitheatre, there is something for everyone to explore. #WeAreVancouver #FIFAWorldCup 1/2

Last week, the Provincial Government approved the VPD's new training academy. We know this is going to be a significant step forward for public safety in our city. Having the Woodward's complex in Gastown as the home of this new academy will help bring daily activity to the surrounding community while supporting the next generation of VPD officers. Check out my new video to learn more 👇🏻

Happy International Women’s Day, Vancouver. Today and every day, we honour the impact of incredible women — including ABC Councillors Sarah Kirby-Yung and Lisa Dominato, Park Board Commissioners Angela Haer and Marie-Claire Howard, and Trustee Preeti Faridkot. Thank you for your leadership.

The Province has approved the new VPD training academy at Woodward's! This news delivers what we've been promising to Vancouver: a safer city for both residents and businesses. Locating this academy at Woodward's will help bring consistent activity and a daily presence to the heart of our city as we work towards our long-term goal of Gastown renewal. This new academy was made possible with funding from a motion introduced by Councillor Brian Montague. The academy will increase the VPD's training capacity and will help improve operational flexibility. We're incredibly excited to see this academy become a cornerstone of preparing the next generation of police officers in Vancouver.

Great to see @TheLastofUsHBO returning for Season 3 and bringing more incredible talent and opportunity to our city! 🎬👏

Big things are coming to Granville Street this summer! In partnership with @downtownvan BIA, we're incredibly excited to announce the Granville Street Pedestrian Zone! Between June 11th and July 20th, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup 2026, five blocks of Granville Street (between Georgia and Davie) will be converted into a fun, free, and family-friendly space, showcasing the best of what Vancouver has to offer as we welcome visitors from around the world. The Granville Street Pedestrian Zone will be an excellent opportunity to dine, shop, listen to live music, and connect with soccer fans from around the world. We look forward to seeing everyone this summer!
