To Reinstate Three-Year Local Government Terms of Office

It was moved and seconded that Council submit the following resolution and backgrounder to the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities for consideration at the 2021 Annual General Meeting and Convention: To Reinstate Three-Year Local Government Terms of Office WHEREAS: Three-year terms allow greater accountability to voters, who are able to show, through, elections, their regard for the directions their local governments are taking, and; WHEREAS: Four-year terms are an onerous commitment for many, and more likely to make potential candidates willing to stand for election hesitant to do so; and THEREFORE: Be it resolved that the provincial government reinstate three-year local government terms of office.
