WATCH: Minister Peter Fassbender, who is overseeing TransLink, was in Kelowna this afternoon, where he made an announcement about appointments to the TransLink board of directors.
The fallout from the “no” vote in the transit plebiscite continues with changes coming to TransLink’s governance.
Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Peter Fassbender, who is also overseeing TransLink, was in Kelowna this afternoon, where he made an announcement about appointments to the TransLink board of directors.
The transit authority added two new appointees — former Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu and former City of Surrey manager Murray Dinwoodie. Former CEO of Westminster Savings Credit Union Barry Forbes has been named the new chair.
TransLink will also pause the recruitment process for the CEO until the newly appointed board members have had time to get up to speed.
TransLink has been going through a major shakeup recently, shedding two top-level executives in July.
Earlier this month, TransLink rolled out its one-fare zone system, making many concerned it will create a two-tier transit system.
