History
In October 1973, a False Creek Development Consultant, E.D. Sutcliffe, was appointed with instructions from Council to "prepare detailed procedural plans for the physical, social and economic development for the first stage [of City lands in Area 6 of south False Creek] for report back to Council" (City Council minutes, November 20, 1973). In January 1974 the False Creek Development Group was established, headed by Project Manager Sutcliffe, who reported directly to Vancouver City Council. Its responsibility was to analyze, advise, and recommend to City Council on all proposed developments of City-owned lands in False Creek (housing cooperative, non-profit, and private, including strata and commercial). The FCDG served as general coordinator, liaison among parties, and support to all parties, to guide the development of the lands according to City policy. The Group disbanded upon essential completion of the many projects in 1986 (October 26, 1995 conversation with Cameron Gray, last Project Manager of the False Creek Development Group).
