The update to the Regional Growth Strategy constituted a Type 1 Major Amendment, requiring acceptance by all affected local governments including the Metro Vancouver Board, member jurisdictions, TransLink, the Fraser Valley Regional District, and the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District. As with previous regional growth strategies, Metro 2050 is a consensus-driven plan among member jurisdictions, TransLink, and Metro Vancouver.
Metro Vancouver is committed to working in close collaboration with member jurisdictions and others throughout the update. The engagement approach identified the following audiences for engagement: strategy signatories (e.g. municipalities), non-signatory stakeholders (e.g. other regional agencies), First Nations, and the general public.
