Outdoor spaces

If you go out:

• keep a distance of at least 2 metres (6 feet) from others
• avoid a public space if it is too crowded to maintain that distance
• do not congregate in groups
• avoid non-essential travel and stay close to home

Park Rangers are monitoring physical distancing compliance and using a two-metre prop to demonstrate the amount of space that people must stay apart. They are working with Bylaw Officers to advise people who are parking illegally that they will be ticketed and possibly towed.

Council Meetings

On March 30, Council cancelled all regularly scheduled council meetings until the end of June, with the exception of April 20 and May 4 meetings. Council may call special meetings to deal with emergent business as required. Watch Council meetings online.

After suspending all public consultation in mid-March as a result of the ban on mass gatherings, West Vancouver Council is preparing to hold public hearings once again. Learn more.

Garbage, recycling and green can collection

There is no change to curbside garbage, recycling or green can collection due to COVID-19. Please set out your items by 7:30 a.m. on your regularly scheduled collection date. To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect our waste collection staff:

• please ensure that all personal hygiene products, used tissues, cleaning cloths, face masks, gloves, and similar items are disposed of in garbage bags.
• securely tie garbage bags. Un-bagged or loose items will not be collected.

Need replacement recycling bags, blue boxes, grey boxes or extra garbage tags? Learn more about delivery.

Blue Bus

Given the extent of transit service suspensions across our network, we ask customers to only travel on transit if necessary, so space remains available for our essential service workers. View bus schedule updates.
