Kamloops to push for modular housing units announced at UBCM convention
KAMLOOPS — Municipal officials from across the province are heading back home after meeting in Vancouver for the annual Union of BC Municipalities convention.
The yearly conference features education sessions and keynote speeches, along with a litany of mini-meetings between civic officials and provincial cabinet ministers.
Acting Kamloops Mayor Arjun Singh says it was a productive week for city officials.
“We had a chance to meet many of the new ministers and some of the provincial staff on a number of different issues: housing, opioids, Stuart Wood school, BC Transit. We met actually with a strict focus on the patient care tower at RIH. Really good sessions as well, and resolutions that went to the floor,” said Singh.
