George Harvie,Metro Vancouver,Travel Expenses

Delta mayor George Harvie was removed by his own councillors from the Metro Vancouver board earlier this month, and is facing criticism over travel expenses.

There are growing calls for Delta Mayor George Harvie to cancel his upcoming trip to the Netherlands. He's already rung up tens of thousands of dollars in travel expenses this year, and critics say enough is enough. Catherine Urquhart has the story.

Despite his removal from the Metro Vancouver board, Harvie was permitted to stay on until July 1, so he could attend a conference in Amsterdam about diking systems.In an email, Harvie’s office said in part, “he will remain a member of the Mayors’ Committee, where the learnings from the trip will continue to be valuable to the region.”“They still have the opportunity to kibosh this and send a message to Metro Vancouver taxpayers that they actually care even about expenses like this,” he said.
