The board oversees regional urban and rural planning for 21 municipalities, Tsawwassen First Nation and Electoral Area A.
Delta Mayor George Harvie has been elected the new chair of Metro Vancouver’s board of directors for 2023.
There are 41 board directors, who are appointed by respective municipal councils. Each director has a weighted vote assigned to them, with larger municipalities having more directors with the maximum voting strength of four or five points each. The board oversees regional urban and rural planning for 21 municipalities, Tsawwassen First Nation and Electoral Area A and deals with increasingly complex and expensive regional projects for drinking water, wastewater treatment, solid waste management and air quality regulation. Metro Vancouver also manages regional parks and affordable housing complexes.
This year brought much debate on what’s called the “urban containment boundary,” as Surrey’s old council sought to shrink the boundary for the purpose of expanding its industrial tax base. The debate pitted regional environmental and flood protection strategies versus economic development.
