Metro Vancouver has begun construction on the Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel, a major project that will replace an aging piece of infrastructure and help maintain the regional district’s ability to reliably provide high-quality drinking water.
Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Construction
To meet the growing demand for drinking water in the region the Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel, deep under Stanley Park, will replace an existing water main that was built in the 1930s and is at the end of its service life.
PavCo has announced that the BC Place Community Benefit Program has raised approximately $2 million for charitable causes across British Columbia by donating four suites and more than 100 tickets to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour shows in Vancouver December 6-8, 2024.

Taylor Swift Tickets Raise Over $2 Million for Charities in Vancouver
The BC Place Community Benefit Program officially launched in October and saw a suite donated to four of the largest fundraising charity galas: the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Ball, the VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation’s Vitality Gala, the Victoria Hospitals Foundation Visions Gala, and the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Crystal Ball. As a result of the donations, the BC Place Community Benefit Program has raised approximately $1.98 million to date, with some additional fundraising still to be reported.
This doesn’t include charities that raffled or auctioned off donated ticket as well. I was the winner of the raffle run by Good Night Out Vancouver, with donated tickets, that raised $10,000 for the small local charity – which made a huge impact! I was also at the Canuck Place Gift of Time Gala and the Courage To Come Back Awards this year where tickets or suites raised over $35,000 between those two events.
The BC Place Community Benefit Program empowers BC-registered charities to raise critical funds by leveraging the stadium’s unique assets. Details about the 2025 BC Place Community Benefit Program will be released in early 2025.
