Musqueam Band Proposes Development on University Endowment Lands

Musqueam Band proposes development on University Endowment Lands.

The Musqueam Indian Band is looking to set a new standard in community consultation as it moves forward with plans to redevelop 22 acres of what was once a regional park in the University Endowment Lands into a mixed-used neighbourhood that will include new housing, retail space and a 120-room hotel.

“I think a lot of people, when they think about first nations doing development, they automatically assume that first nations are going to do it without any consultation or without thinking of those who could be impacted by the development. That is not the case in this case,” said Wade Grant, a Musqueam councillor and economic development coordinator.
