VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps say talks on keeping the Major League Soccer team in Vancouver are continuing following another meeting of key stakeholders.
The Whitecaps said Thursday that club and MLS officials recently met with government representatives and leaders from the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations to discuss the team’s future in Vancouver.
A separate statement released by federal Housing Minister Gregor Robertson said participants reaffirmed their commitment to keeping the Whitecaps in Vancouver.
“There was a clear consensus around the table: everyone is wearing the same jersey and working toward the same goal,” Robertson said in the joint statement.
