The union of British Columbia municipalities is the organization between the government and municipalities in British Columbia. They say they are excited about having a convention this year. After an all-digital one in 2020 this year’s convention is about optimism and how problems can be presented as an opportunity rather than a problem.

The forum for local government.

Your representatives at the municipal level are able to bring resolutions to the floor of the ubcm so it is also your opportunity to approach your local officials about the possibility of activity on or off the floor at the convention. A resolution passed could eventually make it through to provincial legislation. The effect of being grassroots democracy.

Good good luck to all those who take the time and give their ideas for this public good. Don’t worry about giving up your idea it just makes room for another one. Thoughtful public interest we’ll see the theme to be realized and that public good will come back to you in a tangible way.

Anticipating speakers and networking through a quality virtual convention..

Editors note.

The time tested and published Roberts Rules requiring presence at quorum and voting is still our best practice view. Giving every one opportunity to vote is very important as well. Remote or absent should be handled with extreme care. PP
