  • That the following resolution be approved for submission to the 2025 NCLGA convention:

    Mental Health Supports for Elected Officials

    WHEREAS the stresses faced by local elected officials are increasing due to a degradation in the tone of civil discourse;

    AND WHEREAS additional mental health supports for local elected officials would be beneficial beyond what is provided by the Medical Services Plan and extended health plans;

    THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that NCLGA and UBCM call upon the Province of British Columbia to implement initiatives that offer mental health supports tailored to the needs of local elected leaders in British Columbia.

Corporate Vote - Unweighted

  • That the following resolution be approved for submission to the 2025 NCLGA Convention:

    Unpaid Leave Provisions for Elected Officials

    WHEREAS local government elected officials are required to attend meetings, conventions, and conferences to perform their official duties, often requiring absences from their place of employment to do so;

    AND WHEREAS there are no provisions in provincial or federal employment legislation for local elected officials to allow them to take such absences as required to perform their official duties;

    THEREFORE be it resolved that the NCLGA and UBCM lobby the Province of British Columbia for amendments to the Employment Standards Act to include unpaid leave of absence provisions to protect the employment of elected officials and allow them to attend Board / Council meetings, conventions, and conferences in the performance of their official duties;

    AND FURTHER be it resolved that the NCLGA, UBCM, and FCM lobby the Government of Canada for amendments to the Canada Labour Code to include unpaid leave of absence provisions to protect the employment of elected officials and allow them to attend Board / Council meetings, conventions, and conferences in the performance of their official duties.

  • That the following resolution be approved for submission to the 2025 NCLGA Convention:

    Accessory Dwellings in the Agricultural Land Reserve

    WHEREAS manufactured homes are recognized as a common, affordable, and readily available form of housing across the province, particularly in rural areas, having limited long term impact to underlying soil conditions due to their surface mounted design;

    AND WHEREAS on Dec 31, 2021, in an effort to provide housing flexibility in the ALR, the province permitted a second dwelling unit to be constructed within the ALR to a maximum of 90 sq. m. on parcels of 40 hectares or less in size, which represents a non-standard, custom-sized manufactured home, often preventing the construction of flexible additional housing within the ALR;

    THEREFORE, be it resolved that NCLGA and UBCM call on the Province of B.C. to amend the ALC Act and associated regulations accordingly to permit the construction of either a 90 sq. m. accessory dwelling unit or a standard-sized manufactured home up to a maximum 148 sq. m. total floor area on parcels under 40 ha within the ALR.

Corporate Vote - Unweighted

  • That the following resolution be approved for submission to the 2025 NCLGA Convention:

    Agricultural Land Reserve Boundary Review

    WHEREAS ALR boundaries were established in the early 1970’s, and no province-wide reviews have been conducted since that time in spite of technological progression and data maturity about the suitability of those boundaries;

    AND WHEREAS it is well known, particularly in rural areas of the province, that large areas of the ALR are unviable for agriculture, and conversely, some areas of high agricultural value were left out in the initial rush to delineate protected agricultural areas in BC, negatively impacting British Columbians’ confidence in the value and importance of the ALR:

    THEREFORE be it resolved that NCLGA and UBCM encourage the Province to mandate, appropriately staff, and fund both the ALC and Regional Districts to conduct a comprehensive, collaborative, data-driven, expeditious, province-wide review of the ALR boundaries to ensure the highest quality agricultural lands are protected for the next 50 years, and that appropriate lands unsuitable for agriculture be identified in collaboration with Regional Districts and member municipalities to allow for 20 years of growth, in alignment with provincial housing and land use mandates for local governments.
