SURREY, B.C. — Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke's ongoing campaign for a public inquiry into Metro Vancouver has gained significant momentum, picking up backing from neighboring municipalities including New Westminster and North Vancouver.
The call centers around mounting concerns regarding regional governance, asset management oversight, and substantial cost overruns tied to the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant project. City officials argue that a transparent external review is necessary to restore public trust in regional fiscal management.
