Whereas there is a lack of Public Health Officers in rural and northern British Columbia; And whereas the current staffing levels are impacting development approval processes for obtaining public health permits; And whereas there is limited training opportunities for Public Health Officers in rural and northern British Columbia: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM lobby the provincial government to increase the provision of locally offered training and support for Public Health Officials in rural and northern British Columbia.
