    Seems a no brainer if they have reindeer over caribou.

    Proposal for $450 Million Expansion:

    New $450-million Vancouver Zoo to take over Queen Elizabeth Park | Urbanized

    The owners and operators of the existing Greater Vancouver Zoo announced today they intend to restructure their organization into a not-for-profit entity, with their animals transferred to a new purpose-built facility that takes over most of the 130-acre hilltop public park at Little Mountain.

    The project requires approval from the Vancouver Park Board and relevant regulatory authorities over zoological facilities. If it receives all of its approvals, the new zoo is expected to attract up to 1.8 million visitors in its first full year of operation. It hopes to open in the middle of 2029.

    I'd love to see this happen, but it really is 'pie in the sky' thinking. I'll be totally astonished if this dream becomes a reality.
