Metro Vancouver has convened individuals with relevant personal qualities and experience to sit on the Solid Waste Management Plan Public/Technical Advisory Committee. Twenty-nine members, from a range of backgrounds, will provide advice and input on the development of an updated solid waste management plan.
The terms of reference outline that committee members will:
- meet four to six times per year for the duration of the solid waste management plan update process
- represent a diversity of sectors and interests, and bring a variety of personal qualities, perspectives, and experiences to solid waste and recycling issues
- be selected by the GVS&DD Board, except for the committee chair and vice-chair who will be members of the Zero Waste Committee
- be asked to adhere to a code of conduct for respectful and collaborative participation
Terms of Reference
Representatives of the 10 local Indigenous Nations are invited to observe committee meetings at their preference. Engagement with Indigenous Nations is expected to be coordinated through a separate, collaborative process.
Recommendations for committee members were reviewed by the solid waste management plan’s Independent Consultation and Engagement Panel prior to consideration by the Zero Waste Committee and GVS&DD Board in a closed meeting.
