Parkinson’s is more than a diagnosis – it’s a life-altering reality for more than 110,000 people living in Canada, with this number set to soar to 150,000 by 2034. Behind the numbers are families grappling with a fragmented care system, long waits for diagnoses, and a lack of access to specialized care. People are losing their sense of joy and purpose, feeling unconnected, uninspired and alone. It’s a journey filled with uncertainty, where every step demands courage, every challenge requires resilience, and every moment underscores the critical need for change.

The symptoms of Parkinson’s can push people into the shadows. But at Parkinson Canada, we hope to inspire people with Parkinson’s to embrace the wobbles, the wiggles, and the wonky moments. We help people affected by Parkinson’s stand in the light – connected, supported and inspired. We transform every involuntary movement into a symbol of style. Every shuffle into a dance. Every tremor into a beat. We help people living with Parkinson’s to find their joy, their ‘swagger,’ again – or maybe for the first time.

Vancouver’s public spaces – our plazas, squares, streets, laneways, pathways and waterfront – are where public life happens. These places and spaces are where we interact with the city on a daily basis, as we work, study, shop, dine, experience cultural events, and gather with family and friends. Public space is where we connect with the city and where we connect with each other – it’s where community is created.

Downtown is the heart of our city. With its distinctive skyline, exceptional views, 24-hour cultural and shopping activities, and distinctive neighbourhoods, Downtown Vancouver has an authentically unique sense of place. That said however, the main attraction is the people. Vancouver’s Downtown is home to diverse and multicultural communities, a wide array of residents, businesses and employees, and attracts visitors from near and far.

Currently, there is no comprehensive strategy that provides guidance on the planning and delivery of downtown public spaces. Starting summer 2017, the City of Vancouver is looking for your feedback on how to fostering exceptional, vibrant and memorable public spaces, places and experiences in the downtown peninsula. This area includes the Central Business District, Coal Harbour, West End, Downtown South, Yaletown, False Creek North and Northeast False Creek.

Through <strong>Places for People | Downtown</strong> we hope to create the Downtown Places and Spaces Strategy, which will provide a strategic framework to shape a vibrant public space network and coordinate public space delivery in the downtown.
