Megaprojects: Shaping Metro Vancouver’s Future

There is a hidden network of Metro Vancouver infrastructure that makes our region possible. Go behind the scenes to see the engineering feats involved in lifting an entire wastewater treatment plant roof, how water tunnels are dug below our ocean waterways and how to lower a massive tunnel boring machine deep into the earth. It’s all part of Metro Vancouver’s work to deliver safe, clean drinking water and protect human health and the environment.

Metro Vancouver is a diverse organization that plans for and delivers regional utility services, including water, sewers and wastewater treatment, and solid waste management. It also regulates air quality, plans for urban growth, manages a regional parks system, provides affordable housing, and serves as a regional federation. The organization is a federation of 21 municipalities, one electoral area, and one treaty First Nation located in the region of the same name. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors of elected officials from each me​mber jurisdiction. http://www.metrovancouver.org
