Knowing What You Need to Know – A Primer on the Legislative Requirements for Local Governments
You are the new CAO or corporate officer of a small municipality or are a recent import to BC local government. As a senior local government official do you know what you need to know in order to ensure you are meeting your legislative requirements? With limited resources and an overabundance of input, direction and demands from council, the public and possibly your own staff what are the key legislative considerations you must take into account when providing administrative leadership? Whether it is protecting democratic rights of citizens to information and due process, assisting elected officials with an understanding of respective authorities or protecting the municipality from legal challenge, a strong understanding of the foundation of local government requirements is critical. Join us for a one day workshop where experts in local government legislation will provide an overview of those key considerations followed by storytelling from practitioners of their real life experiences that highlight the significance of understanding your requirements and responsibilities. Participants will leave the workshop with take away resources and pointers to further information.
Program updates will be posted on the LGMA website as they come available. Registration will be available soon. Watch for details.
