An Indigenous-led urban development project in the heart of Vancouver is set to double in size with six-thousand units planned. Squamish Nation councillor Khelsilem (KHAL-SAY-LIM) says the proximity of the project to downtown Vancouver is among the reasons for the larger-scale development.  The Squamish Nation is planning to build 11 towers at the south end of the Burrard Bridge near Vancouver's False Creek, with the tallest being 56 storeys high. The city of Vancouver says it looks forward to working with the Squamish Nation and supporting their integration with the existing community and city service connections.
