His many accomplishments in public life include the development of a 10-year, $7.5 billion Metro Mayors Transit Plan for the Metro Vancouver region that translates a long-term vision for transit into practical and equitable solutions, and the creation of the National Zero Waste Council, a cross-sector leadership initiative that brings together governments, business, and NGOs to advance a national waste prevention and reduction agenda in Canada and beyond.
