Vancouver Park Board
The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, commonly referred to as the Vancouver Park Board, is the elected board with exclusive possession, jurisdiction and control over public parks in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Established by an 1889 amendment to the Vancouver Incorporation Act, 1886 (later the Vancouver Charter), has seven elected commissioners who are charged with determining the policy direction of the body. The board has a mandate to "provide, preserve and advocate... to benefit people, communities and the environment". Commissioners are elected at-large every four years, with a chair and vice-chair elected by the commissioners every year. Vancouver is the only major city in Canada with an elected park board, although Cultus Lake, British Columbia, also has an elected board.
