Every year, a small delegation of Village Council members attend the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Convention to meet directly with the Premier, Cabinet Ministers and their staff to discuss top priorities within our community. These meetings are an opportunity for us to request Provincial support for local projects and for concerns that we need help to solve.
Zeballos Village Council is seeking input from residents on what matters you want us to discuss with the Province. If you would like to see a topic brought forward to Provincial Cabinet Ministers and their staff, please submit your request in writing to the Village Office or use our online form at:
Examples of meeting topics from previous years are:
→ Re-opening the access to Artlish Caves Provincial Park
→ Securing one maintenance contractor for the Zeballos-Fair Harbour FSR
→ Replacing the aging tsunami siren in east Zeballos
Council will be discussing UBCM meeting topics at their next regular meeting on July 28th; however, this survey will remain open until Friday, July 31st.
