Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas has a lot on his agenda as he attends a Union of BC Municipalities (UBM) Housing Summit in Vancouver on Tuesday (Feb. 13).

He will be speaking to the UBCM about Bill 45.

The province introduced the legislation in November 2023 and if it becomes law it will apply to municipalities seeking court injunctions to remove or regulate homeless encampments.

香蕉视频直播淭he concern we have in that area is not everybody who is in those encampments we can find housing for,香蕉视频直播� Dyas added.

The UBCM has asked the province to withdraw the legislation.

The mayor will also speak about consistent and regular infrastructure funding in light of new provincial legislation regarding housing densification.

Kelowna received $26.1 million from the province and $31.5 million from the federal government last year to assist with infrastructure and growth.
