Highway 4 was a topic of interest at the most recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention, according to Port Alberni city councillors.
During a committee of the whole meeting on Monday, Oct. 16, members of city council presented reports from their time at the convention, which took place from Sept. 18-22 in Vancouver.
Councillor Debbie Haggard says the common themes were wildfires, climate change and emergency preparedness.
“This has been the worst summer in history for the province for wildfires and that was top of mind for everybody there,” said Haggard.
