Vancouver’s mayor will call on the province to amend the city’s charter to fundamentally change the Vancouver Park Board, Global News has learned.


Ken Sim has called a press conference for 10 a.m. on Wednesday on a “proposed motion to change the Vancouver Charter.”

Whether the motion will seek to abolish the board, or to significantly scale down its power and scope, remains unclear.

But sources told Global News the motion was, at its core, about accountability resting in the hands of city council rather than elected park board commissioners.
