Smart Growth BC’s goal in the Sea-to-Sky Corridor is to protect land from urban sprawl by establishing a Greenbelt that will be a cornerstone for better land use planning and result in urban development being directed into town centres. The Greenbelt will both assist in the preservation of wildlife habitat and increase the potential for alternatives to driving through physical activity such as walking, biking, cross-country skiing, and snow-shoeing.
Greenbelt vision statement:
“The Sea-to-Sky Greenbelt will be a world-renowned example of what can be accomplished by respecting our spectacular natural resources while enhancing community livability. Urban and rural settlements from West Vancouver in the South to D’Arcy in the North will each exemplify the principles of smart growth: vibrant economies in compact communities with unique village centres. Each community will be surrounded by a defined growth boundary outside of which will remain pristine recreational lands, productive farming and forestry lands, healthy waterways, and protected wilderness areas.”
