Sustainable Funding for Solid Waste Management Compliance

Whereas increasing environmental standards for solid waste management are placing considerable financial strain on local governments and their taxpayers; And whereas the provincial government should consider the financial implications of such regulatory changes on local governments and provide corresponding and accessible opportunities for local governments to receive financial support: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM advocate to the Province of British Columbia for the establishment of an annual funding model to assist local governments in adequately preparing for and responding to new provincial environmental standards for solid waste management.
