Metro Vancouver announced last week the chairmen and chairwomen slated to guide the regional authority’s 10 committees and two sub-committees over the next four years.
District of North Vancouver Mayor and former head of the TransLink mayors’ council Richard Walton takes over from Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan as chairman of Metro’s regional planning committee.
Working as head of the utilities committee is City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto, known for his strong support of city-owned heat utility Lonsdale Energy Corp.
West Vancouver Mayor Michael Smith was named vice-chairman of the utilities committee.
Mussatto is also set to serve as vice-chairman of Metro’s regional economy task force. Metro Vancouver chairman Greg Moore is set to lead the task force.
Metro Vancouver is adding a climate action committee, a federal gas tax task force, a regional economy task force, as well as a performance and procurement committee this term.
“The Metro Vancouver Board of Directors is committed to maintaining and enhancing the livability of our great region as we grow in the coming years,” stated chairman Greg Moore in a media release.
