“As Mayor of Delta, it is important to me to support the next generation of leadership in our community,” said Delta Mayor George Harvie. That’s why I asked Councillor Kruger to run for Delta Council and that’s why I was proud to nominate him as one of Delta’s two directors at Metro Vancouver.”
“It’s a huge honour to be appointed as a Metro Vancouver Director by members of Delta Council,” said Kruger. “I am excited to get to work along with Mayor Harvie to represent Delta’s interests in the region.
