BC Municipal Leaders Talk Shared Challenges

Thousands of local elected officials from across Canada gathered in Edmonton, Alberta, last month for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' 2026 Annual Conference and Trade Show, marking 125 years of municipal leadership, collaboration, and advocacy.

Over the course of the four-day convention, representatives from British Columbia connected not only with delegates from their own provinces, but with municipal leaders from coast to coast to coast.

The event provided an opportunity to share ideas, discuss common challenges, and strengthen partnerships within Canada's municipal sector.

While in Edmonton, we caught up with numerous municipal leaders from across the British Columbia to discuss their attendance and how things are going in their community. Today's guest include: Tofino Mayor Dan Law, Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell, and Kamloops Councillor Nancy Bepple.
