Coquitlam councillors Teri Towner (left) and Craig Hodge were recently promoted to additional committees within the Metro Vancouver regional district, giving them stronger voices for potential change.

Coquitlam's two representatives on the Metro Vancouver board of directors now have bigger voices within the regional authority.

This month, board chairperson George Harvie added Coun. Craig Hodge to the regional planning committee and Coun. Teri Towner to the regional culture committee.

The committee appointments, which are usually announced in January, are at the discretion of the board chairperson, a Metro spokesperson said.
