Metro Vancouver needs real reform.
After Surrey Connect Councillor Pardeep Kooner exposed the staggering $5.5 billion cost of the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant, it is clearer than ever that taxpayers deserve greater accountability, transparency, and responsible spending.
Surrey Connect has been leading the call for meaningful reform. Mayor Brenda Locke’s framework focuses on three key changes:
💧 Back to Basics: Focus Metro Vancouver on essential services like water and sewer.
🏛️ Smaller Board: Reduce the board from 41 members to 16 for more efficient governance.
$ No Director Stipends: Abolish additional stipends and crack down on unnecessary travel and expenses.
Surrey Connect will continue pushing for meaningful action and real reform at Metro Vancouver.
