2021 R01 – Reinstate Three-Year Local Government Terms of Office

Whereas three-year terms allow greater accountability to voters, who are able to show, through, elections, their regard for the directions their local governments are taking;

And whereas four-year terms are an onerous commitment for many, and more likely to make potential candidates willing to stand for election hesitant to do so:

Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request the provincial government to reinstate three-year local government terms of office.
