Board Governance Review - Board Size and Structure changes

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

During April through June 2026, Metro Vancouver invited input on proposed changes to the size and structure of its four boards.

As of July, this input has been reviewed and summarized for discussion among Metro Vancouver’s Governance Committee and Board and will help inform decisions on the proposed changes.

On July 24, Metro Vancouver Board will discuss the public feedback received on proposed changes to the size and structure of its boards, and the recommendations of Metro Vancouver’s Governance Committee.

To learn more about these recommendations and the feedback received, read the Board agenda below:

Engagement activities for Board size and structure options:

The engagement program received input from Board Directors and Mayors, elected officials from across the region, member jurisdiction staff, provincial government representatives, local First Nations, and the public.

Engagement included interviews conducted by Deloitte, presentations to member staff and elected officials, presentations by request to member jurisdiction councils, an opt-in survey, representative market research, a youth advisory panel session, two public webinars, and pathways to receive written comments.​

Although the engagement on board size and structure is closed, the options under consideration for each board can be reviewed below. ​
