VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY www.yvr.ca

STRATEGIC PLANNING To guide airport operations and development, the Airport Authority uses a five-tiered planning process. The Strategic Plan establishes the mission, vision and values for YVR, while the Master Plan (this document) looks forward 20 years to ensure the best use of YVR’s fundamental resource – land. The Capital Plan and Financial Plan allocate funding over a 10-year span and identify what infrastructure will be built and when. The Detailed Strategic Plan looks five years out and provides the planning context for the Airport Authority’s annual Business Plan, which outlines airport initiatives and objectives for a one-year period.

Recognizing the “certainty of uncertainty,” the Airport Authority reviews plans regularly, monitors external events closely, favors conservative timing for capital expenditures, builds infrastructure incrementally whenever possible, and incorporates flexibility, transparency and open, honest stakeholder communications into its planning activities. WELCOME TO YVR Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is B.C.’s airport. It enables us, as British Columbians, to welcome the world, pursue our business goals and embrace family and friends. YVR is a premier gateway to the Pacific, a leading employer of many and, we hope, a source of pride for all.

During the past two years, Vancouver International Airport Authority has spoken with hundreds of British Columbians to understand your future aspirations for your communities and your country and to identify how YVR can best support your vision. What you told us formed the basis for this draft plan, which outlines our recommendations for achieving the future you’ve articulated for yourselves and for YVR.

This document is a gateway to the rigorous economic, social, environmental and governance considerations and analysis involved in ensuring YVR can meet the needs and aspirations of the communities it serves. It outlines many views – sometimes conflicting – about how best to plan for a future that is by definition uncertain.

The Airport Authority’s mission is to serve all communities. This draft 20-Year Master Plan is meant to generate discussion around our recommendations and to find out whether you think we’re on the right path. To enable you to immerse yourself as deeply as you’d like in the master planning process, further information is provided on our website: www.yvr.ca.

We hope you will agree with our vision of how YVR can best meet your future needs and aspirations, but if we have not asked the right questions, or if we have arrived at answers that do not make sense to you, we hope you will tell us.

We encourage you to read this document and visit our website. You can provide your thoughts, comments, questions or concerns online or by emailing, writing, faxing or calling us at:
