The Town of Gibsons was among the local governments that won Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) 2020 Community Excellence Awards.

The awards were presented this year as part of the UBCM’s “virtual convention.”

“The awards showcase municipalities and regional districts that have implemented projects and programs that demonstrate excellence in meeting the purposes of local government,” UBCM said in a release announcing the award winners.

“The awards are designed to profile promising practices and to create successful pathways and incentives for others to follow.

Gibsons’ eco-assets strategy was recognized for excellence in asset management, an award given for “comprehensive, integrated, innovative and effective approaches to the management of existing and new infrastructure.”

The eco-assets strategy treats the natural environment as part of the town’s infrastructure.
