Our Vision

Inspired by the best examples of the change that has taken place to run down canals around Britain and Europe, we are guided by a vision of the Glasgow Canal as;

• A series of good places that people will choose to live, work and visit;
  
• A home to diverse and sustainable neighbourhoods that provide a range of housing types and tenure, together with facilities and access to services, shops and employment; and
• A distinctive, well-loved place that fulfils the potential it has to play  a unique role in Glasgow’s Vision for the future 
  

Well, that was the vision agreed by those who took part in our Workshop event back in 2007, at the time we were set up – to download a copy of the Report of this event, click here.

But a picture paints a thousand words ... and here’s one that does just that, created by school children from local Primary Schools and showing a canal with life, colour and activity. We think this captures our vision best;
