History
Chander Suri was the planning director for the Regional District of Fraser Fort George from 1969 to 1977. Graduating from Delhi University in 1962 with a Bachelor of Architecture Degree, Suri worked on multiple projects worldwide including townships in Hungary, Tokyo, Czechoslovakia, England, Japan, and New Delhi. He was also a lead designer on the United States pavilion at the 1961 New Delhi International Fair and the Quebec pavilion for Expo 67.
Suri started his career with the Regional District of Fraser Fort George in early 1968, working as a planning assistant with Alan Soutar. In March 1969, Chander Suri was appointed planning director in his predecessor's place and tasked with overseeing multiple development plans for Prince George and the Fraser Fort George Regional District. He started his term managing the establishment of development centers and recreational sites along Highway 16 East to take advantage of the tourist traffic anticipated with the route's completion. Additionally, Suri oversaw the development of the Greater Prince George Plan unveiled in 1974, outlining a 25-year development plan for the city.
Numerous other projects mark his employment with the Regional District including Official Community Plans for the Fraser Fort George Regional District and surrounding Upper Fraser Valley communities. Suri's work encompassed rural planning, property assessments, land use policy, real estate, park system planning, and development projects connected to resource management and waste management. His employment with the Regional District ended in 1977. Suri continued to work as a Prince George-based independent planning consultant thereafter.
