Metro Vancouver’s outgoing Board must not rush major budget decisions through days before new representatives take office. These decisions affect taxpayers and regional priorities for the year ahead
- including not giving NV residents $235M for the lawsuit settlement on the NS Wastewater Treatment Plant.
JUST IN: Surrey mayor-elect Doug McCallum calls on @MetroVancouver board to cancel Friday meeting.
"13 days after voters replaced 13 mayors, the old Board plans to sit down and pass next year’s budget. That is not how you treat voters," he says.

It’s about bloody time!
#breaking Jerry Dobrovolny is officially done as Chief Administrative Officer and Commissioner with @MetroVancouver @globalnews @jarmstrongbc
Hallelujah! But why Eby continues ‘to have confidence in the Chair’ at Metro Vancouver is beyond me.
Premier @Dave_Eby calls @MetroVancouver a "gong show" and says he's instructed @christineeboyle to prepare options for the provincial government to intervene.

A shocking incident at Westview shopping centre in #NorthVancouver. Witnesses saying they heard 3 shots and a man with a knife was shot after police arrived. RCMP have secured the scene - it’s safe now but it will be hours before the mall reopens.

North Vancouver RCMP are currently on scene of a serious incident at Westview Plaza. The plaza is closed while officers conduct their investigation. We are asking the public to avoid the area until further notice.

New 360 bed student housing at @CapilanoU. Thank you @BowinnMa! Cap U says HUNDREDS more needed. But District of NV rejected a private proposal for student housing.

Update from tonight's public hearing: DNV Fire Chief Mike Danks: "A major chlorine release is rare, but its consequences could be significant and will quickly exceed fire dept and municipal resources"

The site less than 500 metres from homes, chlorine is NOT used to purify Metro Van’s drinking water and …

What say you? Should the $200M settlement be used to offset utility bills for North Shore taxpayers, who pay significantly more than other municipalities? Thanks for the story @CUrquhartGlobal globalnews.ca/video/11850625…

15%No
13 votes • Final resultsAt least some of the $235M should go to North Shore taxpayers who have taken a massive hit from this mess. The independent review of Metro will resume but we still need a public inquiry.
