Attendees can expect a lot of new faces and recharged enthusiasm at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities conference.
Singh said the energy is reflected in the large number of resolutions, which are put forward by municipal councils, regional districts and local government associations from across B.C. There are 277 resolutions on the books for 2019, not counting those that could be raised at the meeting. That’s more than in each of the previous five years.
A special resolution from the UBCM executive responds to member concerns about provincial processes and programs that have been brought forward without community consultation. They include the caribou recovery program and a dock management plan on the Sunshine Coast. A review panel will be looking for input from delegates as part of the UBCM’s convention finance and sponsorship review. The review comes on the heels of some municipal politicians triggering alarms about a reception put on by the consulate-general of China.
The conference is also an opportunity for the provincial government to make announcements. Last year, there was funding to deal with wildfire risks, build child-care spaces and recognize climate action leadership, and a renewed commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
