Local Government Elections Task Force

Elections Task Force - Consultation Website

The Union of British Columbia Municipalities and the Ministry of Community and Rural Development are co-chairing a special joint task force to make recommendations for changes to local government elections legislation. Recommendations will be presented to the Province and UBCM by May 30, 2010, in time for approved legislative changes to be implemented for the 2011 local government elections.

The task force is reviewing specific issues related to various local government elections topics and invites input from local governments, citizens, community groups and other organizations. Feedback provided through the website will play a vital role in the deliberations of the task force. Written input is sought as soon as possible, preferably by April 15, 2010.

Union of British Columbia Municipalities

The Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) is an organization that has served and represented the interests of local governments in BC since 1905.

In today's ever-changing world, where shifts in senior government policies, or in economic, social or political conditions, can have an immediate effect on local government, UBCM stands as a "listening post". UBCM initiates, monitors, interprets and reacts where such changes could have an effect on local governments and the communities they serve.

Here you will find resources and publications relating to the latest issues affecting local government in BC, including policy documents, discussion papers, UBCM services, programs and special events. As well, you will find links to BC's local governments and other related organizations.

We hope you find our website useful and informative, and we appreciate your feedback and comments.
