Proposed UBC Towers
threaten Please note this page has not been recently updated with current information. The University of British Columbia (UBC) was given a permit to build the first of 4 proposed 20-storey student tower residences for 1960 students just across from the cliff edge of Pacific Spirit Regional Park. The first tower, Phase One, is now nearing completion. Phase Two of the project, including three more proposed towers, has not yet received permits and is now the issue of the controversy. The towers threaten Pacific Spirit Regional Park's cliff stability, migratory and resident birds, wildlife habitat, eagle roosts, and viewscapes. Heavy truck movements, with over 24 truck movements a day, send dangerous vibrations to the cliff face and jeopardize the wilderness-like ambience of Wreck Beach. |

Help us keep pressure on UBC to drop the Tower Heights! Wreck Beach is one of the top 10 clothing-optional beaches in the world and is a free-spirited beach that is totally self-sustained by the community attending. Whether you use the beach or not, help support it's much needed preservation as one of the last of Vancouver's all natural beaches and views that is still not overshadowed with development of any kind. Please make your voice and presence known as it is urgent that we do so to preserve it's natural state. Towers Superimposed on Wreck Beach Photo |
