CHRONICLE OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE INNOVATION IN METRO VANCOUVER: “With the climate changing and atmospheric rivers making things more and more challenging, we need to restore balance to rainwater management in our region,” stated Peter Navratil, General Manager for Metro Vancouver Liquid Waste Services (October 2024)
The Metro Vancouver region’s Draft Interim Liquid Waste Management Plan is the springboard to a re-set and course correction in 2025. “When we built cities, greenspace was paved and pipes handled all that drainage. Our reliance on pipes and streams is proving to be inadequate in view of new, heavy patterns of rainfall that we are beginning to see,” stated Peter Navratil.
