Services and cost efficiencies review
Metro Vancouver has a culture of continuous improvement in which we search for opportunities to innovate and reduce costs through all the work we do. As part of our Services and Cost Efficiencies Review, we’re identifying areas where operational cost savings can be made and assessing the financial and service impacts of these potential revisions. This will guide decisions for our 2026 budget and beyond.

North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant independent review
On July 24, 2024, Metro Vancouver’s Board of Directors passed a resolution to confirm initiation of an independent performance audit of the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant Program. In September of 2024, Metro Vancouver hired a lawyer to develop the scope of the review, the terms of reference for the review, and a process to select an independent, qualified reviewer. Because legal advice is being provided, the meetings with the lawyer have been closed to the public; however, more information about his recommendations and the hiring of a reviewer is expected in the coming months.
When scheduled, these public updates will be included as board and committee agenda items, available on Metro Vancouver’s webpage.
