Upcoming Events

2012 Elected Officials Seminars (EOS)

LGLA is hosting the 2012 Elected Officials Seminars following the November 2011 BC local government elections. These seminars are designed for both new and returning elected officials. Senior staff are also invited to attend these seminars along with their elected officials.

Elected Officials Seminar for SILGA Members
January 18 – 20, 2012, Kelowna

Elected Officials Seminar for AVICC Members
January 24 – 26, 2012 (Group 1), Parksville
January 25 - 27, 2012 (Group 2), Parksville
* The only difference between Groups 1 and 2 is the dates of the sessions. Both sessions will have the same content and are open to both new and returning elected officials. LGLA limits the size of its seminars to maximize group interaction, so we have created two sessions on Vancouver Island.
