“A Third Spaces Revival – OneCity will make Vancouver Public Library the anchor of a citywide third-space revival with two new libraries, renewing three aging branches, expanded community programming, and fund the VPL’s Facilities Master Plan so that every neighbourhood has access to community programming and learning.”
“An Independent Vancouver Arts and Culture Council – We’ll create an independent, sector-led agency governed by a board with arts, culture, equity, and Indigenous expertise.”
“Build New Branches – We’ll expand the system over ten years at the two sites VPL has already identified, Joyce Collingwood and East Fraser Lands.”
“Create a Legal Pathway for DIY Arts and Culture Venues – We’ll create a new small cultural venue licence category with risk-based safety requirements and a compliance-first approach that helps operators collaboratively fix problems instead of forcing them to shut down.”
“Cultural Space Security Program – OneCity will create an annual cultural space inventory to track what's being lost, replacement or relocation requirements, expanded accessibility grants, and a goal to increase arts and culture spaces overall.”
“End the crackdown on DIY arts venues, and encourage and support independent artist-run nightlife as part of Vancouver’s cultural scene.”
“Establish a Punjabi Gate in Sunset: We will create a landmark celebrating the contributions of Vancouver’s Punjabi and South Asian communities and their lasting impact on South Vancouver and the city.”
“Expand library hours to be open 7 days a week, and give libraries the support they’re asking for, including funding for mental health workers, and better working conditions.”
“Lock in Long-Term Funding – We’ll turn VPL’s Facilities Master Plan into a public, funded, 10-year capital commitment.”
“OneCity will implement creative and savvy solutions to save money and put public dollars toward building thriving communities.”
“Renew the Branches we Already Love – We’ll revitalize three more branches that VPL’s own staff have already flagged for renewal: Carnegie, Britannia, and Joe Fortes.”
“Restore City Arts Funding: Restore staffing and grants cut by ABC, with a new citywide strategy.”
“These spaces are critical to our community, and in the case of the Britannia VPL branch, we’ll expand and build around it according to our One Britannia plan, so it’s not just a library, but a community hub.”
“We will introduce a no-net-loss test requiring replacement or relocation support when redevelopment displaces cultural and queer spaces.”
“We’ll create a straightforward, easy-to-get pop-up permit so vendors, artists, and cultural and community organizations can set up temporary markets and events with less hassle and in more places.”
