The results of the Transit Referendum are in. Metro Vancouverites have voted NO.

This SFU City Conversation will take a closer look. Pollster Mario Canseco, Vice President of Insights West, will analyze the results. Who voted, where were the yes votes and no votes, and why did people vote as they did? Bob Ransford, Senior Consultant at Counterpoint Communications and head of the Yes campaign, will review the campaign. We’ve invited a third analyst to discuss the consequences for regional transit, planning and politics.

Then it’s your turn to question, observe, and offer your perspective and opinion. Please feel free to bring your lunch.


This special edition of  SFU City Conversations, co-sponsored by Re-Imagine Downtown Vancouver, takes place at their annual outdoor location, in the park at Lot 19, located at the north end of Hornby St. at W. Hastings St., four blocks west of SFU Harbour Centre. (you may know it as the location of Mink Chocolates.) It’s a perfect place to enjoy the sun, eat your lunch, and participate in the conversation.
