Unfortunately - I won't be attending this year as I was not able to secure the necessary time off from my employer, as a result of extreme staff shortages at the hotel I work at, but is reflective of the realities in BC's Hospitality Sector.... and thus there won't be daily reports for the Union of BC Municipalities' EA Directors' Forum nor the Local Government Leadership Academy Annual Leadership Forum this year...
