Welcome to peace, order, and good local government

A blog about local government law from a western Canadian perspective.

Welcome to Peace, Order, and Good Local Government ("POGLG"), a blog about local government law from a western Canadian perspective. This blog is for anyone interested in good local government, including elected officials, administrators, workers, lawyers, and concerned citizens. The District of Squamish describes good local government as "a transparent, accountable, and responsive system that promotes community welfare, equity, and sustainable development through active citizen participation. Key pillars include efficient public services, economic development, and fostering community cohesion. It acts as a community representative, balancing diverse needs while ensuring accountability and the rule of law." This is a very good summary of the subject matter this blog intends to cover. I hope you find it informative and engaging. Please feel free to add a comment or share a question.
