The annual Union of BC Municipalities conference runs Sept. 18-22 in Vancouver.
This week's Union of BC Municipalities conference promises a lot of debate on ongoing hot-button issues such as homelessness, emergency services and the opioid crisis as well as climate change and forest fires, the outgoing president says.
“His first 100 days have been extremely busy and we’ve been at the table on behalf of British Columbia communities,” Ford said. “We’ve made some pretty big impacts.” “We’re sort of in a perfect storm of overlapping crises with housing and the climate crisis,” Ford said. “We feel emergency response for health issues is an issue,” she said. “When resources aren’t available and ambulance drivers aren’t available . . . the issue falls to municipalities’ fire departments and that is a municipal issue.”“How do we recover those funds?” she asked. “It’s a challenging one. It’s a downloading.”
