Modest growth & big challenges: The road ahead for BC’s economy

The plenary session at this year’s Convention will focus on BC’s economy, given recent data on the province’s finances, debt and credit downgrades. Speakers will assess how serious the situation is and consider challenges to getting the economy back on course. BC’s Minister of Finance will provide opening remarks followed by an economic overview from a managing director with the National Bank of Canada. Panelists will respond to the overview and take questions from the audience. 

2025 Convention app integrates voting

The 2025 Convention event app is ready for use. The app provides convenient access to the Convention program including session descriptions, times and locations. 

New this year, the app is integrated with the voting portal. Voting delegates can login directly through the app to cast votes for the next UBCM Executive, and in tie-breaking resolutions votes. Non-voting delegates do not need to login.
