UBCM Prepares for 125th Annual Convention

The Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) is gearing up for its 125th Annual Convention, which will be held in Vancouver, BC from September 25-29, 2023.

The convention will bring together local government leaders from across the province to discuss the most pressing issues facing BC communities, including housing affordability, climate change, and economic development.

The UBCM convention is the largest gathering of local government officials in British Columbia. It provides a unique opportunity for mayors, councillors, and other elected officials to connect with each other, share ideas, and learn about best practices in local government. The convention also features a trade show where delegates can learn about the latest products and services available to local governments.

This year's convention will be particularly significant as it marks the 125th anniversary of the UBCM. The UBCM was founded in 1898 as the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. The organization's mission is to promote, strengthen, and improve local government in British Columbia. The UBCM represents the interests of over 180 municipalities, regional districts, and other local government bodies in the province.

The UBCM convention is an important event for local government officials in British Columbia. It provides a valuable opportunity for delegates to learn about the latest issues facing BC communities and to network with other local government leaders. The convention also helps to build a sense of community among local government officials and to promote cooperation and collaboration between different levels of government.

The UBCM convention is open to all local government officials in British Columbia. Registration is now open and can be done online at the UBCM website. The convention will be held at the Vancouver Convention Centre West.
