Update to B.C mental health policy, more resolutions passed at SILGA
The four-day 2023 Southern Interior Local Government Association conference and annual general meeting kicked off on Tuesday, as delegates gathered to discuss key issues surrounding their local communities. Vernon is hosting the conference for the first time in many years.
The Rural BC Building Code resolution was defeated. Brought forward by the District of Lillooet, it looked at requesting the B.C. government to create a separate rural and remote building code, with less strict restrictions. This was defeated, as many felt would confuse, with two separate building codes then introduced.
Among the notable resolutions that were passed include the Commercial Semi Truck Dash Cams, sponsored by Barriere. This resolution, passed unanimously, looked at asking the provincial government to review the feasibility of requiring all commercial semi-trucks to have dash cams installed and in operation while driving within the province.
Additionally, the Trans Canada Highway Improvements was passed. It requests the province initiate projects currently identified in the 2021 Highway 1-Kamloops to Alberta-Four-Laning plan to improve the safety, reliability and capacity of the highway. Currently, several projects identified in the plan have not begun, which is causing significant public safety concerns.
