Working together for a better North Shore
Port Metro Vancouver established the North Shore Waterfront Liaison Committee (NSWLC) in April 2009 as a mechanism for dialogue and communication between the Port and the North Shore communities.
The NSWLC brings together North Shore municipal, First Nations, industry, Port Metro Vancouver, and community interests to discuss developments, identify concerns, provide suggestions, and facilitate two-way communication among respective constituencies about port transportation and operational issues on the North Shore.

The NSWLC is comprised of up to 16 individuals. Representatives of the three North Shore municipalities, the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, waterfront industry, CN Rail and Port Metro Vancouver are appointed by their respective bodies. Port Metro Vancouver, together with the North Shore municipalities, selects up to six community representatives from among interested North Shore community members who apply to participate on the NSWLC.
The NSWLC meets on a bi-monthly basis or as needed when important issues arise. The work of the Committee helps to foster a uniform approach to communication among all groups on the North Shore about port issues, operations and development, encourage information sharing, and identify opportunities for timely community input. Meeting notes are developed following each meeting for communication and further work as necessary.
