Tip #9 Re-Inventing the Wheel … or Not
You’ll quickly realize that you’re not alone in looking for solutions to complex issues. Other local governments are facing many of the very same challenges and you likely don’t have to start off with re-inventing the wheel! Instead check out what other LGs are doing. Attend seminars & training to get up to speed on the issues and policy options already being discussed. It’s time well-invested. UBCM (Union of BC Municipalities) https://www.ubcm.ca/ was formed to provide not only a common voice for local government but also an important coordinating role. Lots of good work has likely already been done. Perhaps you’ll become a thought-leader as well. *Running for #SalmonArm council*
