British Columbia municipal leaders seek better solutions to crises impacting their communities

City councillors across British Columbia will be looking for answers at their annual convention next week to the question of what the province’s electioneering politicians say they will do to improve the addiction, homelessness, public disorder, and mental health crises in their municipalities.Those issues are among the top preoccupations of the 2,000 delegates to the Union of BC Municipalities – worries that show up in almost a dozen resolutions put forward by cities asking for better solutions. The same concerns are likely to be a big part of the current provincial election campaign over the next five weeks.
