The port authority recently acquired three properties in Vancouver, Surrey and Delta.
The port authority entered into a long-term lease (60 years) with the Province of B.C. on a site in Delta.
The designation of a current port authority site needs to be changed.
Under the Canada Marine Act, the port authority is required to add all land purchases to its Land Use Plan by way of formal amendment.
