Help us shape the 2027 program.

Over the past two conferences, we’ve explored infrastructure, climate, and housing through the perspective of local government finance and what these issues mean for building resilient communities across BC.

This year, we’re continuing those discussions by turning our attention to Governance & Leadership and the role strong leadership, clear priorities, and sound decision-making play in building resilient communities.
