2019 City of Maple Ridge Citizens Report

YOUR COUNCIL OUT & ABOUT

The Haney Farmers’ Market is a great place to fill your pantry and visit with neighbours. Councillor Yousef brought his daughters to the opening ceremony in May.

Councillor Svendsen brought his young daughter out for the Haney Farmers’ Market opening and we managed to get a great shot of themwith Councilor Dueck.

In June of 2019 there was a retirement party for Frank Quinn, General Manager PublicWorks and Development Services. Councillors Dueck and Meadus were there to say goodbye to a wonderful public servant.

Council members took the opportunity to visit with an innovative local business, Pitt Meadows Plumbing, and saw how the company uses technology to build projects virtually before they begin the physical work to improve efficiency and cut waste.

In 2019 Council took a deep dive into the financial and business plans for the City. This year these detailed department reviews took place in November for the 2020 to 2024 planning cycle.

Council members had the opportunity to meet the 2019 winners of the annual Municipal Advisory Committee on Accessibility and Inclusiveness Awards. Posing for a group shot is an annual tradition.
