Safer Parking Initiative
“The Safer Parking Initiative was developed in response the growing problem of property crime and public disorder in Vancouver,“ said Colin Brown, Chief Operating Officer of Canadian Direct Insurance and spokesperson for the Vancouver Safer Parking Initiative. “Like other SPI partners we have an interest in reducing auto break-ins and improving the safety of parking lots for the benefit of the public. We believe the SPI will lead to increased public use of parking facilities, which will promote increased revenues for businesses that depend on customers and employees who drive to work, shop or use services in downtown Vancouver.”
