Webinars

The Local Government Department is using web-based seminars (webinars) for communicating various topics of interest to local government staff, officials and other community leaders. The sessions will provide access to expert advice and a virtual venue to share knowledge and best practices about issues and opportunities in B.C. communities.

The webinars are offered at no cost, and they provide the opportunity to link B.C. communities to others in local government, the provincial government, industry and academia in an affordable, accessible and environmentally sustainable way.

The webinars delivered by MCD will be:

• On topics of interest and relevance to B.C. communities, while ensuring that content is tailored to the needs of both rural and urban communities;
• 60-90 minutes in length (including discussion)
