Highway Rescue Funding

Whereas many small local governments provide highway rescue services in large geographic areas outside of their jurisdictions; And whereas the Province of BC has increased funding to communities in the past several years to help offset the costs of the service provided; And whereas costs continue to rise for components of the service including fuel, vehicle repairs, vehicle replacement and training: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request the Province of BC to review the funding allowances to cover more costs associated with the provision of highway rescue services by small local governments.
