DUE DATE: NOVEMBER 30, 2025
BUILDING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES: Housing & Infrastructure
Delta Grand Okanagan Resort, 1310 Water Street, Kelowna, BC
May 27 to 29, 2026
Across the country, local governments are grappling with the dual challenges of affordability and a widening infrastructure gap. Rising costs, aging assets, and growing service demands are putting increasing pressure on communities, while limited revenue tools make it difficult to keep pace. These challenges are not abstract—they are felt daily in the decisions finance professionals make about budgets, reserves, capital planning, and long-term financial sustainability.
At the heart of these issues is local government finance. Finance officers play a critical role in assessing risks, evaluating trade-offs, and developing solutions that balance community needs with fiscal responsibility. Their expertise is essential in charting a path forward that ensures infrastructure can be maintained, services can be delivered, and communities remain affordable for residents.
Conference topic submissions are due by November 30, 2025. After this date, there is no guarantee that the submission will be reviewed. Complete the submission before contacting the office by email at office@gfoabc.ca or by telephone at 250-382-6871 should you have any questions.
