CONVENING FOR ACTION IN METRO VANCOUVER: “Chuck Gale brought instant credibility as chair because of his stature among local governments and with the Province,” recalls Ray Fung, a retired Director of Engineering in local government, and former Chair of the Green Infrastructure Partnership
As a City Engineer for three Metro Vancouver municipalities over the course of his career, Chuck Gale was a leading voice in the municipal engineering community. He was the driving force behind formation of the Green Infrastructure Partnership. “When we formed the GIP in 2003, green infrastructure was an emerging concept. The paradigm-shift that then occurred far exceeds our original expectation that the partnership would be a catalyst for change,” stated Chuck Gale a decade later.
