The 2026 Local Government Leadership Academy Leadership Forum will be held March 11-13 at the Radisson Vancouver Airport Hotel in Richmond, BC. Registration is now open.
The annual LGLA Forum brings together senior staff and elected officials from local governments and First Nations to explore innovative ways to collaborate and drive positive transformation.
The 2026 conference theme is Finishing Strong: Legacy, Leadership and What Comes Next. As local leaders approach the culmination of their term, the LGLA Leadership Forum will offer space to reflect, renew, and refocus. Finishing Strong is about more than closing a chapter – it’s about honouring accomplishments, stewarding resources, strengthening relationships, and shaping a legacy that endures.
