Metro Vancouver is a federation of 21 municipalities, one Electoral Area and one Treaty First Nation that collaboratively plans for and delivers regional-scale services. Its core services are drinking water, wastewater treatment and solid waste management. Metro Vancouver also regulates air quality, plans for urban growth, manages a regional parks system and provides affordable housing. The regional district is governed by a Board of Directors of elected officials from each local authority.
Past Work:
North Vancouver Park Signage
A visionary project
In 2007 the City of North Vancouver set a goal to create 6.5km of trail traversing urban, industrial, residential, and naturalized areas, within 10 years. The Spirit Trail connects Vancouver’s North Shore communities with a common, waterfront oriented alternative transportation route. This fully accessible greenway connects previously isolated communities and major destinations while providing breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains.
We were retained to develop a comprehensive wayfinding signage strategy for the trail, one which reflected the values and brands of the stakeholders (including the City and District of North Vancouver, the City of West Vancouver and the Squamish First Nation), and whose design and function inspired citizens to get out and use the trail.
