UBCM 2011 #1

My last UBCM was in Vancouver I got to say; “so long” to the many Regional Directors, Councilors and Mayors that I have befriended along the way. I did come to politics with a attitude that I was going to run into a fair bit of slackers and crooked politicians. Instead it has been an amazing array of dedicated hard working people who truly care about their community. Just when I think I am the most dedicated worker I know, there comes some one who; works tirelessly, spending money out of their own pocket to further a cause that will benefit their community. It is humbling and inspirational. As usual there is a ton of information that comes to one at these conferences and it has to be weeded out and shortened to get back to you folks. After all you are the reason we go to these things (that and the stuff and dinners), to get informed, recharge and improve our abilities to representing yourselves.
