Change the Position Title of Electoral Area Director

WHEREAS the term Director, when used for an Electoral Area Director, denotes a corporate or bureaucratic structure and creates confusion with the public and colleagues across the country and beyond, and; AND WHEREAS Electoral Area Directors are often excluded from important events, announcements and opportunities for consultation simply because they are seen as a lesser form of elected official: Therefore be it resolved that the Province of British Columbia amend the Local Government Act and Community Charter as necessary to change the title of Electoral Area Director to Rural Mayor to more properly reflect the responsibilities and contributions of these elected officials.
