BC Standing Strong Together
BC Standing Strong Together Campaign
Local governments have consistently demonstrated leadership across the province as they respond to the current COVID-19 pandemic and its effects in their communities. By modeling strength in adversity, working collaboratively with others, and rising above the challenges to seek solutions to guide recovery efforts, the LGMA is looking for ways to acknowledge your good work.
We would love to hear what your community is doing.
The mission of the LGMA is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and best practices with members. If your local government is working on a recovery effort or solution in your community and you want to share it with fellow LGMA members, we invite you to fill out the submission form.
LGMA will share these ideas and best practices with members through our webpage, on Twitter
@LGMABC #BCStandingStrongTogether,
and on our Facebook Page.
By 'Standing Strong Together', we are making a difference in BC.
