Title
Better Parks for Vancouver
Description
Vancouver’s natural beauty is worth protecting. Our children not only need places to play, but also places to enjoy and explore nature. We all need places of tranquil refuge from our busy lives. The animals and birds that help make our city lives enjoyable need places to nest and raise their young. People and nature in balance is my vision for our parks and recreation system.
Betterparks was established in 2001 to help the citizens of Vancouver understand issues about their public spaces, and especially about issues affecting parks, community centres and beaches.
Born and raised in Vancouver, Stuart graduated from the University of Victoria with a BA in Anthropology and Concordia University (Montreal) with a B.Ed in Teaching English as a Second Langauge. Stuart has lived and worked in rural and urban communities in different parts of Asia and Canada's far north including Nunavut and the James Bay region of northern Quebec, as well as in New Westminster, Surrey and Vancouver.
