2024 LIVABLE CITIES FORUM

2024 Venue

LCF 2024 convened on October 23 to 25 at the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver, BC. Located on the Coal Harbour Shores at the doorstep of Stanley Park and with Vacouver’s vibrant city centre just around the corner, the Westin Bayshore set the tone for a memorable Forum. This accessible Green Key Eco-Rating Program Certified venue boasts an array of outdoor spaces and indoor meeting rooms with state-of-the-art AV equipment that were put to use in a variety of interactive sessions. We also collaborated with local partners to host various sessions and events off site to allow delegates to explore Vancouver City and the surrounding region.

ICLEI Canada's work happens across Turtle Island which has traditionally been and is home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples since time immemorial. We endeavour to listen to and learn from Indigenous Peoples on an ongoing basis in the process of our work.

The 2024 Livable Cities Forum took place on the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation, and has been stewarded by them since time immemorial.
