During the meeting, regional administrator Miss Sherpa provided updates on two significant topics. First, she acknowledged the environmental services staff at the metro plant for their swift response to a fluid bed reactor issue that resulted in ash being dispersed across the facility. Fortunately, no injuries occurred, and cleanup efforts are ongoing, highlighting the dedication of the team in managing both routine operations and unexpected challenges.
Additionally, Sherpa discussed the recent announcement regarding the Gold Line Extension, which has garnered considerable media attention. This project represents a significant investment in the East Metro area, aimed at enhancing regional connectivity.
