Woodward’s

SFU Woodward’s held a free seminar in the Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema last Wednesday on Vancouver’s reputation as one of the most liveable cities.

‘Healthy cities’ expert Gil Peñalosa led the lecture to inform and educate the public about how Vancouver can maintain its long-term credibility as an extremely liveable city by investing in transportation and preserving the current “quality of life.”

Harbour Centre

The City Conversations series was once again hosted at SFU’s Harbour Centre campus last Thursday — this time around, the dialogue focused on the idea of taxation as a solution to Translink underfunding.

Some argue that imposing a tax on real estate purchases for the purpose of flipping the purchased house could provide funds for Metro Vancouver’s transportation system. The public was invited to discuss the topic with local experts, including SFU’s own City Program director, Gordon Price.
