Province as Authority for Orphan Dikes

Whereas climate change is increasing the risk of flooding in many communities in British Columbia; And whereas diking infrastructure is crucial to flood mitigation and the protection of life safety and property: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM ask the Province of British Columbia to immediately initiate a program to assume responsibility for the 100 orphan dikes in BC where there is no delegated authority and initiate a plan to upgrade and repair these structures where warranted.
