Description



We invite you to join the It’s Time Team to learn more about the Mobility Pricing Independent Commission phase 1 research and engagement findings and participate in the phase 2 engagement process. Come see the proposed approaches and how those who live, work, and go to school in Metro Vancouver might be impacted depending on the principles associated with each approach. In Phase 1 we heard from over 6,000 people, your feedback will play an important role in shaping the future of Metro Vancouver’s transportation.

We will also be hosting a panel moderated by Mayor Jonathan Coté, featuring speakers on the topic of mobility pricing. The panelists includes:

Joy MacPhail, Vice Chair of the Independent Commission on Mobility Pricing and Chair of the Insurance Corportation of BC.

She graduated from the LSE in 1978 with a Diploma in Trade Union/Industrial Relations Studies. For the next 13 years, Joy worked as an economist and negotiator in the union movement in Ontario and British Columbia. In 1991 Ms. MacPhail was successful in her first attempt at electoral politics when she was elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Vancouver-Hastings in British Columbia. She was re-elected in 1996 and 2001, before retiring from politics in 2005. During her political career she held many significant portfolios: Deputy Premier, Minister of Finance, Minister of Health, Minister of Education, Government House Leader, and Leader of the Opposition, among others. Joy MacPhail is an owner (with her husband) of OUTtv, the world’s longest airing and most successful Gay and Lesbian TV network. MacPhail is Chair of the Grant Selection Committee of Face the World Charitable Foundation and is Vice-Chair of the Board of Trustees of Adler University in Chicago.
