“Canada Lands will be presenting what their intent is with respect to community consultations [for the 52-acre portion], so that will be a big part of the conversation… Then from my side, it will be really a call to action that people get in touch with the provincial government however they can — and because it’s Point Grey, there are lots of people with direct connections to the government that are outside the usual [means] — and say, ‘Look, don’t sell this incredibly strategic and important piece of property without talking to the community,’” he said.

“I’m worried they’re moving really quickly given that they were in early talks at the time of the Global article and now they’re in formal discussions. The federal half went really quickly once their discussions started after the transfer to the Canada Lands corporation and I think it’s quite easy for the province to match the deal that the feds gave — there may be less negotiations than there was a year ago.”
