Use of Crown Land Prior to Local Government Land for Provincial Projects

Whereas the Province of British Columbia requires land for the delivery of provincial services such as healthcare and social housing and relies on the availability of suitable land from local governments to accommodate these projects; And whereas local governments have limited or significantly diminished land holdings available, while the Province owns significant Crown Land resources that are suitable for development: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM urge the Province of British Columbia to prioritize the use of Crown Land for provincial services before pursuing land owned by local governments.
