Whereas the provincial government plans to require only zero emission vehicle sales in British Columbia by 2040; and

Whereas northern and rural communities may not have the necessary infrastructure, capacity building ability, and related upgrades necessary to support the Province’s objective for zero emission vehicles;

Therefore be it resolved that NCLGA and UBCM lobby the provincial government to recognize the challenges in northern British Columbia and outline their plan for supporting capacity building, improved infrastructure, and other upgrades in northern British Columbia to meet zero emission vehicle sales targets;

And be it further resolved that if interim zero emission vehicle sales targets for 2030 are not met by the Province, then the Province may reconsider their 2040 objectives.
