Economic Development

Help Shape Our Economic Future

Economic prosperity is one of five Council priorities identified in Council’s 2018-2022 Strategic Plan. To assist Council in setting strategic direction for the City’s economy, staff are currently undertaking the development of an Economic Investment Strategy. This strategy will identify a vision for the local economy and provide specific implementable actions to achieve economic resiliency and a path forward to sustain and grow a diverse and prosperous economy. If you'd like further information on the Economic Investment Strategy, email business@cnv.org.

Over the coming months, consultants will be working with City staff, City businesses, the community and Council to prepare the Economic Investment Strategy. A critical component of this work will be consultation with City businesses and the community. Your feedback will inform and shape our direction, goals and priorities. 

Situated on the North Shore of Metro Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver is a vibrant community with a full array of business, entertainment, cultural and recreational opportunities in a relatively compact area.

The City of North Vancouver works closely with the North Vancouver Chamber, Economic Partnership North Vancouver and the Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area Society on economic development initiatives.
