E6. Provincial Support for Area Associations through Regional Program Development
Status
Withdrawn
WHEREAS UBCM receives provincial support for program development that enhances local government capacity, provides direct funding opportunities, and delivers programs tailored to local government needs at a province-wide level;
AND WHEREAS the Area Associations, including the North Central Local Government Association, also play a vital role in supporting local governments, yet lack direct provincial funding mechanisms to develop and deliver regionally relevant programs;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that NCLGA and UBCM urge the provincial government, specifically the Minister of State for Local Governments and Rural Communities and the Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs, to develop funding mechanisms to support Area Associations in delivering regional programs that align with provincial priorities, enhance local government capacity, and provide an additional source of revenue to sustain and expand services for their members.
