Introduction
The following Action Plan consists of three committee priorities, listed in no particular order of importance. Each priority includes a “Summary” section that describes what it is and why it’s important. Each priority also has a “Measuring completion” section that describes what we consider completion of that priority for the year, and appoints a point person.

HUB’s local committees have the potential to build positive and meaningful relationships with local governments. It’s much easier for us to make this happen locally than it would be for someone from Vancouver who would have to cover the entire GVA at once. Let’s make sure we are making use of this potential. 2019 was a great year for our relationship with Port Moody staff. Let’s keep this going while focusing on similar improvements with Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam.

The following Action Plan consists of three committee priorities, listed in no particular order of importance. Each priority includes a “Summary” section that describes what it is and why it’s important. Each priority also has a “Measuring completion” section that describes what we consider completion of that priority for the year, and appoints a point person.

Priority 1. Improve our relationships with municipalities.

Summary

HUB’s local committees have the potential to build positive and meaningful relationships with local governments. It’s much easier for us to make this happen locally than it would be for someone from Vancouver who would have to cover the entire GVA at once. Let’s make sure we are making use of this potential. 2019 was a great year for our relationship with Port Moody staff. Let’s keep this going while focusing on similar improvements with Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam.
