Advocacy Update
Public Engagement Opportunities
- Following Union of BC Municipalities meetings and ongoing correspondence, Council and corporate leadership have had meetings with the Hon. Ravi Kahlon, BC’s Minister of Jobs and Economic Growth, and his staff to advance Kamloops’ economic opportunities.
- Council sent a letter of support to the District of Peachland for its resolution requesting that the Union of BC Municipalities ask the Government of British Columbia to exempt municipalities from provincial sales tax on professional services required for municipal operations, legislated requirements, and capital projects, or to provide equivalent financial offsets so these costs are not borne by municipal taxpayers.
- Council provided engagement feedback to the Province on the Ministry of Forests’ recent policy paper on the Heritage Conservation Act Transformation Project.
