Dobrovolny Out as Metro Vancouver CAO | Vancouver News

Jerry Dobrovolny’s exit as Metro Vancouver’s chief administrative officer comes amid controversy over the ballooning North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant — now projected at $3.86 billion versus the original $700 million — and a lawsuit tied to the project. Despite the turbulence, board chair Mike Hurley praised his leadership through the pandemic and called his departure timely ahead of BC’s municipal elections. Heather McNell will step in as acting CAO while the region searches for a new leader. Before joining Metro Vancouver, Dobrovolny had a diverse career: engineering in Vancouver, city councillor in New Westminster, and even a CFL draft pick in 1983.
