WHEREAS transient workers utilize health and recreation services in our communities which has a substantial impact on our resources; AND WHEREAS transient worker data collection is not captured in Statistics Canada Census as part of population growth: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that UBCM lobby the federal government and recommend data collection that will accurately capture the number of transient workers and seasonal residents that work in one community but reside in another to accurately determine funding levels by provincial and federal governments.
