Summary

Metro Vancouver’s top administrator is out after years of scandal and mismanagement, including a wastewater plant ballooning from $700M to nearly $4B — saddling North Shore residents with $725 extra yearly for 30 years. Critics demand accountability, calling the board a “gong show,” while advocates push for sweeping reforms like eliminating board stipends and creating a new auditor general. The provincial government is now weighing deeper involvement as elections loom, with Heather McNell stepping in as interim leader — but fixing Metro’s broken governance will take far more than a leadership change.
