Part of Arthur Hugo Ray fonds
In 1957, Hugo Ray was appointed by the Minister of Municipal Affairs to chair the Metropolitan Joint Committee (MJC). This Committee was charged with investigating and reporting on the pros and cons of unifying administration and services of eleven municipalities (Burnaby, Coquitlam, Fraser Mills, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Richmond, Vancouver, West Vancouver) in the Greater Vancouver area.
The records consist of Ray's files as Chairman of the MJC, a copy of the Committee's final report, correspondence, some minutes, briefs to the Minister and to the MJC, membership lists, speeches and source material for speeches. Also included are copies of reports and studies prepared for lower mainland municipalities which addressed topics of interest to the MJC.
