Metro Vancouver's enviable quality of life attracts more than 35,000 people every year to the region. This growth brings challenges – from affordability to climate change, transit and pressure on our industrial lands – as we strive to accommodate our 2.5 million residents and many businesses across the region.

In his remarks, Dhaliwal will outline Metro Vancouver's Five-Year Financial Outlook, including nearly $5.5 billion worth of capital projects, and discuss key initiatives such as the Climate 2050 strategy and the Industrial Lands Task Force.
