The first video in this ongoing segment featured Ruimy discussing some of the upcoming projects happening within city hall.

“Later this month, we’ll be holding special workshop meetings to look at the five-year financial plan and the 2023 work plan for our staff,” said Mayor Ruimy. “Look for the draft financial planning materials and meeting schedule later this month.”

He also went into detail about some of the other efforts that the City of Maple Ridge has made in order to try and be more transparent with locals.

“I’m also thrilled to share that earlier this year, we launched the Engage Maple Ridge platform. This is a new digital space where you can learn about city initiatives, provide feedback, and connect with staff and neighbours on projects that matter to you.”
