The Prince Rupert delegation to the 2023 UBCM Convention may want to pack some additional business cards for introductions, with the pace of registration for the annual gathering of municipal officials moving ahead at a record pace.
An update on the planning for the 2023 conventions noted that close to 1,800 delegates have now registered for the event in Vancouver which is set for September 18th to 22nd.
That number is destined to increase with the deadline for early registration still over a week away.
This years convention features a number of key topics for delegates to discuss with an agenda that includes:
Housing attainability and related issues, the 2023 wildfire season that has threatened communities in the province, issues of decriminalization and public safety as well as the implementation of UNDRIP at the municipal level, to name just a few items of note.
The Full Agenda for delegates can be reviewed here.
Prince Rupert City Council has one more regular session before Convention time, a September 11th get together (their only regular session for the month) that may provide residents with some idea as to the size of the Prince Rupert delegation and what local officials hope to bring back to the community from their week at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
