The report made 49 recommendations aimed at improving Metro Vancouver Board governance, which include reviewing the Board size and structure, instituting a Governance Committee, streamlining standing committees, and strengthening Metro Vancouver’s internal audit function. </p><p style="margin-bottom:20px;">The Board Governance Review was launched in February 2025 to look at Board and Committee structure, compensation for Board and Committee members, and Board decision-making processes. The provincial government partnered with Metro Vancouver on this review, and Deloitte Canada conducted the review.
