UBCM Talking Points 2022



September makes for convention season for BC municipal leaders as the province's elected officials and their senior staff members, along with a string of BC government and opposition members prepare to take part in the UBCM convention. 

This year's event marking the first opportunity to gather in person since COVID turned the province upside down for two years.

The 2022 edition is the 119th Annual Convention and it takes place at the Whistler Resort from September 12-16, the theme for 2022 "Value of One, Power of Many" explained as follows:

The overall theme for this year’s annual convention, "Value of One, Power of Many" centers on the avenues, areas and ways local governments can and must forge forward together to successfully align resources to deliver community needs. 

 Our Convention theme in 2022 was developed to drive the most relevant and timely discussions to the forefront, as UBCM gears up to return to in-person collaboration with our membership, and to work with provincial and federal governments to shape and boost recovery in our communities.



As we head towards convention week, we will offer up items of interest below culled from developments that come out of gathering set to take place  from September 12-16.
