History

Founded in 1988 by Chuck Brook, Brook + Associates was created
in response to challenges faced by applicants undertaking the development approvals process at the City of Vancouver. We celebrated the 20th anniversary of our firm in 2008.

In November 2008, we proudly celebrated the appointment of Gary Pooni as president of Brook + Associates. In his new role, Gary is responsible for driving the firm's growth and managing major client projects. Partner Chuck Brook continues his full-time role in the office, providing strategic and political counsel to clients in Vancouver, across the province and in the United States.

"Having started the firm in 1988, I've seen our business expand and evolve today to include every type of land use imaginable-industrial, commercial and residential. I am extremely confident that Gary will successfully lead our firm and our clients into the next 20 years and beyond."
