\nA weekly roundup of noteworthy news in municipalities across B.C.<\/em><\/p>\n

Many residents in Coquitlam are cheering with recent news of the significant drop in marijuana grow operations<\/a> in the city due to the municipality’s efforts to crack down on homes found to have high power consumption.<\/p>\n

The mayors of Surrey, White Rock, Delta, the two Langleys and Abbotsford are pulling together in a united bid to get the transportation, jobs and other infrastructure<\/a> they need to handle growth in the next 30 years.
\nInitial ideas, which range from pushing light rail to potentially one day forming their own regional district.<\/p>\n

The mining-friendly communities around Kamloops are being tested with a proposed open-pit copper-gold mine that\u2019s partly within city limits<\/a> raising questions about the close relationship to the province\u2019s extractive resource industries.<\/p>\n

The North Vancouver Museum and Archives is promoting local talent with its new exhibit – Made In BC: Home-grown Design<\/em><\/a> – that offer a retrospective of the province’s standout talents and trends in manufactured items dating from before the dawn of the machine age to the present.<\/p>\n

Looks like more public waterfront is in the works with $1 million is being allocated for parks and trails along Lower Fraser River<\/a> as a part of the Experience the Fraser<\/em> plan created to construct biking and hiking trails along both sides of the Fraser River from Vancouver to Hope.<\/p>\n

Rising baseline levels of ozone in the Lower Mainland<\/a> are baffling local scientists due to the fact that emissions of the key air pollutants that combine to cause smog declined over the past 10 years. If nothing else, this is a grim reminder that climate issues are systemic and requiring efforts from those beyond local borders.<\/p>\n

With Vancouver all but abandoning faith in the public after the Stanley Cup riots last year, kudos to the City of Surrey for continuing to make party plans similar to last year’s for the final series<\/a> should the Canucks make it that far. The party is to include a large screen TV, a DJ keeping the crowd pumped at intermissions, face painters, stilt walkers and other attractions will be added for kids.<\/p>\n
