Draft VisionThis is a livable Village with a diversity of housing types, transportation choices and local amenities that serves a varied population of different ages and lifestyles.

We have an abundance of natural areas and parks that are protected and cherished. The neighbourhood is in harmony with the existing natural systems that make it sustainable now and in the future.

Our relationship with our neighbour communities is respectful. We work to preserve and enhance Grandview Heights’ natural and built assets.

Our community has been designed with innovation and quality; these unique features have made a place that is a happy and healthy ‘home’, embodied with community pride and spirit. Our neighborhood is a place that is safe and welcoming.
