The Mayor of Vernon is ready to work with the incoming provincial government, though she is unsure if that will see any changes to investments or programs the city had previously accessed.
The Conservative Party of B.C. ousted the B.C. NDP in the snap election this fall, and Mayor Kari Gares said they will need some time to evaluate how they plan to govern and what sort of grants and programs they wish to continue or change.
“I think there’s going to be a bit of a delay as they figure that process out, but really it’s business as usual [for us at the city],” Gares told Vernon Matters.
“I think there’s always a concern in the back of your mind when you have a change of government. Once they get in what kind of shifts are they going to make, where are those shifts going to be, are those shifts going to be in things that right now we’ve been getting a lot of grant dollars from?
