What’s Already Been Delivered

The Record.

Plans are easy. Delivery takes thirty years. Here is what Meghan builds — and keeps building — for Port Moody.

$25.1M
Negotiated · 2025

Moody Centre — Community Amenity Deal

The PCI development at Moody Centre: 865 purpose-built rental homes including 44 below-market units. A large grocery store, 56,000 sq. ft. of commercial space generating 284 jobs. A pedestrian overpass connecting Moody Centre to Rocky Point Park. A daylighted section of Slaughterhouse Creek. Artist studios, a public plaza, rooftop green spaces, and $2.1M in annual property tax revenue. $25.1M in community amenity contributions, density bonuses, and infrastructure charges. Voted through 5–1.

Under Construction

Coronation Park — Affordable Housing

Non-market rental apartments backed by $140 million in BC Housing funding — under construction as of the December 2025 ground-breaking. Accompanied by a 12,300 sq. ft. childcare facility, grocery store, café, a 2.5-acre public park, and a pedestrian overpass to Inlet Centre SkyTrain. Meghan’s council navigated complex CMHC financing requirements to unlock this housing. It required years of negotiation.

Total Package

Coronation Park — Total Community Contribution

$8.1M community amenity contributions · $43.2M infrastructure upgrades · $17.9M for park, pedestrian overpass, civic space, and greenway · $25.8M in development cost charges · $4.8M public art. An independent review found the development providing three-and-a-half times the required amenity package. This is what 30 years of knowing how to negotiate actually produces.

2019
National Award

Clements Award — Most Outstanding Canadian Politician

The national Clements Award for environmental leadership — given annually to one Canadian politician for significant contributions to environmental protection. Meghan also represented Port Moody in receiving the International Livable Communities Award for “Planning for the Future.” These reflect decades of work on environmental policy, green space preservation, and sustainable city planning.

15yrs
Finance Committee

Financial Management & Fiscal Accountability

Chaired Port Moody’s Finance Committee for 15 years. Prior to elected office, spent nearly 20 years in post-secondary education as an educator, College Director, and Provincial Director — responsible for hundreds of employees and several multimillion-dollar budgets. This is not someone who needs to learn how to negotiate, manage budgets, or run a complex organization.

“This city doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people decide to show up.”
