UBCM

UBCM: The First Century provides readers with accessible and thought-provoking commentary, teamed with newspaper accounts and personal anecdotes. The book is amply embellished with photos, newspaper clippings and excerpts from municipal resolutions. In 1905 the local governments of BC realized a long-held goal of building an organization to provide a unified voice for local governments ? the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. UBCM, which continues to serve as the voice for local governments, commemorates their achievements in this book. It is compiled, researched and written by a team at UBCM, chiefly Yale graduate and planner Harmony Folz, along with former CBC writer and broadcaster Wendy Bancroft.
