This month I am Acting Mayor and tonight I chaired the #cityofpg council meeting. Thanks to council and staff for all the support. Never having done it before it was definitely one for the record books! 🤓🤩😍 – at Prince George, British Columbia
Saddened to learn local election workers are hopping over to the provincial election and leaving municipalities in the lurch.
I don’t know about you, but this snap election seems like a party foul to me that could have waited four weeks.

Incredibly disappointed by the disrespect from sitting MLA Sheldon Clare towards the 3,500 local candidates who have put their name forward for the local general election to serve their communities. This is not behavior becoming of a leader. We can and must do better. #bcpoli
In a @Conservative_BC municipal elxn group chat today, @SheldonClareBC casually suggests some local candidates, or perhaps just general opponents, need to be hanged.

“Overlapping elections will lead to less scrutiny, less accountability, and it’s not in the public interest," says @UBCM @CorRams, responding to rumours the @bcndp is poised to call a snap election during the municipal campaign. @FranYanor for @BeatNorthern

UBCM is pleased to announce that Kim Grout has been appointed to serve as our next Executive Director, effective September 8, 2026. Her appointment concludes a nation-wide search to replace outgoing Executive Director Gary MacIsaac as he retires.

Do you know the difference between an Evacuation Alert & Order?
ALERT: Be ready to leave on short notice.
ORDER: Leave the area immediately.
RESCIND: The threat to life and safety has passed.

Thanks to our @UBCM members who provided feedback on Bill M216 and the consequences it would have on development at home in our communities. The local context matters and our voices were heard on this issue. Thanks to @christineeboyle and @BrittnyAnderso for listening.
NEW - BC Housing Minister @christineeboyle has pulled the plug on @G_Anderson1's private members bill, the Professional Reliance Act, after @UBCM and several others came out strongly opposing the changes.

Serious statement by Union of BC Municipalities on #BillM216 Professional Reliance Act (*not dead yet*). 'Because of its wide-ranging, significant defects, @UBCM strongly encourages Committee to recommend back to the House that Bill M216 not proceed.' #vanpoli #bcpoli

Bill M216 is a flawed bill that was developed without technical input from the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs.
Local governments, housing practitioners, and members of the public have been unequivocal in their opposition to the legislation.
It’s disappointing the committee did not agree with a motion to set the bill aside. The Legislature must vote to defeat this.
Cori Ramsay retweeted
Bill M216 Professional Reliance Act continues to move forward despite significant risks it would pose for public safety and liability issues. This week the NDP committee chair cast a deciding vote to keep the bill in motion, defeating a Conservative motion to set the bill aside.

UBCM has directed our solicitor to apply to act as an intervenor in the Cowichan Tribes v. Canada appeal. Our goal is to ensure the Court understands the unique implications this ruling will have on local government’s ability to regulate, tax and service within its jurisdiction.
Struggling with @WestJet is becoming the trend. Bag stuck in AB since Feb 27; I’m now in NL - wearing the same clothes for days. Zero contact or information. As a loyal platinum member, and a world elite credit card holder, I will be looking into my options. This is unacceptable.

The govt put $1.4B in funding on hold for affordable housing development. @UBCM president Cori Ramsay says there was no notice on the cut, it will leave many non-profit and housing developers in a lurch, & download more provincial responsibilities onto municipalities.
Non-profit housing providers say this empty lot on East Pender St, the site of a proposed 64-unit affordable rental building, is now the symbol of a broken promise by the province, one that puts thousands of affordable rental units in jeopardy. #bcpoli

In Budget 2026, the Province said that it would slow delivery of its housing commitments, and reallocate $1.4B from its housing strategy. On further inquiry UBCM learned that some of that the reallocation will come from closing the Community Housing Fund. ubcm.ca/about-ubcm/latest-ne…

The Province has announced that licensed premises will be allowed to open at 5am on Sunday, February 22 coinciding with the Olympic gold medal mens hockey game. Local governments need to issue approval for the change to take effect for establishments within their boundaries.
My heart is with the people of Tumbler Ridge following the senseless shooting that has shaken this close‑knit community. To all who are grieving and to those whose lives have been forever changed, I offer my deepest condolences.

NEW - BC has backed down on proposed changes to the Heritage Conservation Act, that @UBCM and others warned could jam development by boosting conservation for intangible Indigenous cultural sites.
Legislation for this spring has been indefinitely postponed.
