About us
The Union of BC Municipalities advocates for the common interests of local governments in British Columbia. Our mandate is to work directly and constructively with other orders of government, to ensure that local governments have the powers and resources needed to meet local needs. A voluntary, member-based organization, UBCM was created in 1905 by local governments with the belief that BC communities needed a united voice for common matters. In time, UBCM was established by provincial statute as the official representative of local governments in British Columbia. UBCM also works closely with federal and provincial governments to distribute funding to local governments. Our two core funding streams are the Canada Community-Building Fund. funded by the federal government with a focus on community infrastructure, and a series of Local Government Program Services funded by the Province.

Congratulations to the District of Central Saanich who won the UBCM Community Excellence Award's Presidents Committee Choice award this year. Their project took a short-term planning process that made it difficult to forecast and plan for the future and turned it into an integrated framework to make collaborative progress on community priorities. It caught the eye of the Presidents Committee for the outstanding achievement in transparent planning and reporting, and the potential for other local governments to learn from Central Saanich's process. #planning #localgovernment https://ow.ly/mOZO50TXqjr
