The participation of Italy at UBCM 2023 – Union of British Columbia Municipalities that recently took place in Vancouver was very appreciated by the authorities in attendance.
The UBCM was formed to provide a common voice for local government and it is the main forum for UBCM policy-making. It provides an opportunity for local governments of all sizes and from all areas of the province to come together, share their experiences and take a united position.
Positions developed by members are carried to other orders of government and other organizations involved in local affairs. Policy implementation activities have expanded from annual presentations to Cabinet to UBCM involvement in intergovernmental committees, regular meetings with Ministers and contact on a daily basis with senior government.
During UBMC 2023 Consul General Nobili met, among others, the Honourable Jagrup Brar, BC Minister for Trade, with whom he discussed the potential collaborations to reinforce the strong and existing trade relationship between Italy and British Columbia.
