Episode Details

The Metro Vancouver board should be elected - that’s the call from four city councillors in light of cost overruns on projects such as the new waste water treatment plant in North Vancouver. Surrey’s Linda Annis and New Westminster’s Daniel Lafontaine along with Kash Heed from Richmond and Ahmed Yousef from Maple Ridge say voters should be the ones who decide who sits on the regional district board. Board members are currently chosen by member municipalities, an electoral district and a First Nation.
