Beneath the Fraser: A Tunnel Built to Last

When the Annacis Water Supply Tunnel is finished, it will be rock solid and reliable enough to keep operating even after a major earthquake. Go beneath the Fraser River for a close look at how Metro Vancouver ensures the tunnel's pipes are strong enough to withstand a seismic catastrophe. Metro Vancouver is a diverse organization that plans for and delivers regional utility services, including water, sewers and wastewater treatment, and solid waste management. It also monitors and regulates air quality, plans for urban growth, manages a regional parks system, provides affordable rental housing, and serves as a regional federation. The organization is a federation of 21 municipalities, one electoral area, and one treaty First Nation located in the region of the same name. The organization is made up of four separate legal entities, each governed by its own Board of Directors. Board directors are elected officials from member jurisdictions. 2QLXFAOHGTDKD1VD
