Nor is there any mandate for the Province to act on such a unilateral request to amend the Vancouver Charter. There has been no consultation with Indigenous Nations, residents, community, stakeholders, park board workers, community centre associations, sports groups, etc. This politically motivated decision was top-down and has fractured the ABC party, with three Park Board Commissioners now sitting as independents. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/oppose-abolishing-the-vancouver-park-board
