This month I am Acting Mayor and tonight I chaired the #cityofpg council meeting. Thanks to council and staff for all the support. Never having done it before it was definitely one for the record books! 🤓🤩😍

[UBCM @UBCM]

UBCM Executive is in Victoria this week to talk about improving engagement practices, emergency management resources, and development financing tools among other priorities. Thank you to the many Ministers and MLAs for making the time! #bcpoli

[UBCM @UBCM]

UBCM is pleased with the Province’s decision to rescind Bill M216, the Professional Reliance Act. We are also grateful to all of the local governments and professional organizations that took the time to share comments on the potential impacts of this Bill.

[Cori Ramsay @CorRams]

Thanks to our @UBCM members who provided feedback on Bill M216 and the consequences it would have on development at home in our communities. The local context matters and our voices were heard on this issue. Thanks to @christineeboyle and @BrittnyAnderso for listening.

[Rob Shaw @RobShaw_BC]

NEW - BC Housing Minister @christineeboyle has pulled the plug on @G_Anderson1's private members bill, the Professional Reliance Act, after @UBCM and several others came out strongly opposing the changes.

Serious statement by Union of BC Municipalities on #BillM216 Professional Reliance Act (*not dead yet*). 'Because of its wide-ranging, significant defects, @UBCM strongly encourages Committee to recommend back to the House that Bill M216 not proceed.' #vanpoli #bcpoli

[Dylan Kruger @dylankrugerbc]

Bill M216 is a flawed bill that was developed without technical input from the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs.

Local governments, housing practitioners, and members of the public have been unequivocal in their opposition to the legislation.

It’s disappointing the committee did not agree with a motion to set the bill aside. The Legislature must vote to defeat this.

[UBCM @UBCM]

Bill M216 Professional Reliance Act continues to move forward despite significant risks it would pose for public safety and liability issues. This week the NDP committee chair cast a deciding vote to keep the bill in motion, defeating a Conservative motion to set the bill aside.

[UBCM @UBCM]

UBCM has directed our solicitor to apply to act as an intervenor in the Cowichan Tribes v. Canada appeal. Our goal is to ensure the Court understands the unique implications this ruling will have on local government’s ability to regulate, tax and service within its jurisdiction.

[Cori Ramsay @CorRams]

@WestJet I called your Central Baggage Services team and they said they couldn’t help me because the file is with AirCanada - who I’ve called have said the bag is still with you. YOUR CENTRAL BAGGAGE REP HUNG UP ON ME. @globalnews @Transport_gc @globeandmail

[Cori Ramsay @CorRams]

Struggling with @WestJet is becoming the trend. Bag stuck in AB since Feb 27; I’m now in NL - wearing the same clothes for days. Zero contact or information. As a loyal platinum member, and a world elite credit card holder, I will be looking into my options. This is unacceptable.

[Cori Ramsay @CorRams]

@WestJet Yes, the response is @AirCanada has to take possession of the bag but they say you have to transfer it. This is ridiculous. Your agent also said it was already in Halifax. It’s not. Air Canada rep checked all your bags and it’s not there. STILL in @TorontoPearson @cityoftoronto

[Cori Ramsay @CorRams]

@CareSuppor86564 You’re a scammer not the official Westjet page. Stop praying on vulnerable people.

[Cori Ramsay @CorRams]

@ClaimDepartmnt6 You transferred me to @AirCanada and they have been so helpful but you’re the ones that lost the bag. I am in NL now for a business trip and my bag may arrive in two days. Your phone lines required me to fill out a form but it won’t actually let me submit. Do better.

[Fran Yanor @FranYanor]

The govt put $1.4B in funding on hold for affordable housing development. @UBCM president Cori Ramsay says there was no notice on the cut, it will leave many non-profit and housing developers in a lurch, & download more provincial responsibilities onto municipalities.

[UBCM @UBCM]

In Budget 2026, the Province said that it would slow delivery of its housing commitments, and reallocate $1.4B from its housing strategy. On further inquiry UBCM learned that some of that the reallocation will come from closing the Community Housing Fund. https://t.co/wmsohritIw

[UBCM @UBCM]

The Province has announced that licensed premises will be allowed to open at 5am on Sunday, February 22 coinciding with the Olympic gold medal mens hockey game. Local governments need to issue approval for the change to take effect for establishments within their boundaries.

[David Eby @Dave_Eby]

Our province is so proud of our Canada men’s hockey team!

Also happy to say you can celebrate at one of our local B.C. hospitality locations with a licensed beverage starting at 5:00 am on Sunday, where local governments allow.

Go Canada Go!

[Cori Ramsay @CorRams]

Thank you to the first responders and everyone providing care and support in this difficult moment. B.C.’s local government community will do whatever is asked to support Mayor Krakowka and the District’s council as they guide the community through the days ahead.

[Cori Ramsay @CorRams]

My heart is with the people of Tumbler Ridge following the senseless shooting that has shaken this close‑knit community. To all who are grieving and to those whose lives have been forever changed, I offer my deepest condolences.

[Rob Shaw @RobShaw_BC]

NEW - BC has backed down on proposed changes to the Heritage Conservation Act, that @UBCM and others warned could jam development by boosting conservation for intangible Indigenous cultural sites.
Legislation for this spring has been indefinitely postponed.
