Welcome
Stay safe and stay local while enjoying the latest issue of Metro Vancouver Update!
We have a lot to appreciate in our region — from our extraordinary regional parks and greenways, to the essential services and infrastructure that form the foundation for our well-being.
In this issue, we celebrate Metro Vancouver as the top urban centre in the country for youth to work, according to the 2021 Youthful Cities Urban Work Index.
You will also read about how the new renewable natural gas facility at the Lulu Island Wastewater Treatment Plant is set to go into full commercial operation soon, with the ability to heat up to 600 homes. Learn more about the new Central Surrey Recycling and Waste Centre, which is expected to be complete by the end of this year and open in early 2022. Plus, we remind residents that using reusable items instead of single-use products can make you an everyday superhero! These types of projects and campaigns are examples of how we can reduce waste and create energy for a more environmentally sustainable region.
Thank you for reading the Metro Vancouver Update. Together we make our region strong…and a great place to be!
