59NORTH SHORE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT PROGRAM$1.058 BILLION
The North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant is a new tertiary
treatment facility being built to replace the existing primary level
Lions Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant on the North Shore.
The facility will feature an enclosed design and robust odour
control system to prevent odour from reaching neighbouring
residents and businesses, will recover heat for use in a
nearby district energy system, and will include a public plaza,
education, and community meeting spaces. Construction
officially began in late August 2018. In 2019, the decision was
made to move from secondary to tertiary treatment technology.
In 2022, Metro Vancouver and PCL Constructors Westcoast
Inc signed a pre-construction services contract to take the
next steps to complete the North Shore Wastewater Treatment
Plant and to create an updated plan to complete the project,
including developing a revised project budget and schedule that
is anticipated for 2023.
