BC urban mayors wants immediate action

The B.C. Urban Mayors’ Caucus is at the Legislature Wednesday to call on the provincial government to take what they label “immediate and meaningful action on the critical issues facing communities across British Columbia.”

The group of mayors warn that continued delays are placing increasing pressure on cities and residents alike.

Representing B.C.’s largest urban centres, the Caucus – which includes Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas – said it is united in its request for stronger provincial leadership and partnership on key priorities.

Those include housing affordability, crime and public safety, infrastructure funding, mental health and addictions, and homelessness response.
