Unstable slopes and landslide risk

Be careful where you buy or build your home!

A new geotechnical report has concluded 27 North Vancouver homes were built on an unstable slope, and that nine of them are at very high or extreme risk from landslides.

Deputy City Engineer Douglas Pope said the nine homeowners at highest risk would have to spend up to $200,000 on slope stabilization work by fall.
