WHEREAS policies and provincial actions may have differing impacts on rural, remote, and northern communities due to geography, population distribution, and service delivery realities;

Actions
Advocacy and Follow-Up on NCLGA and UBCM Endorsed Resolutions
Once a resolution passed by the North Central Local Government Association (NCLGA) is subsequently endorsed at the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) Annual Convention, responsibility for advancing that resolution transitions to UBCM. UBCM leads the advocacy efforts with the Provincial Government and is the primary point of contact for updates on the status of endorsed resolutions.
To track the progress and government responses to endorsed resolutions, members are encouraged to consult the Provincial Government Response to Resolutions Report, which is published by UBCM annually in February. This report outlines the actions taken or commitments made by the Province in response to each resolution endorsed by UBCM.
