\n<\/a>A weekly roundup of noteworthy news in municipalities across B.C.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Nelson<\/strong> Electric Tramway Society hopes developing a museum in its streetcar barn<\/a> will help bring the society\u2019s annual budget back into the black.\u00a0The society also has a long term debt of $48,000 owing to the City for expenses related to the original construction of the streetcar barn in 1991.<\/p>\n

The Town of Qualicum Beach<\/strong> has won a national award for its neighbourhood development<\/a>.\u00a0Mayor Teunis Westbroek was in Windsor, Ont. Wednesday to receive a Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) Sustainable Communities Award. The town won the award for its plans regarding the village neighbourhood, trails, waterfront master plan, electric vehicle charging stations and its youth and family retention\/attraction strategy.<\/p>\n

Nine objectives outlined by the [City of Abbotsford<\/strong>] mayor’s task force on economic prosperity <\/a>were presented at a public consultation Wednesday evening.\u00a0The consultation was held to give members of the community a chance to ask questions about the objectives, which include supporting agriculture, attracting new businesses and encouraging innovation.<\/p>\n

Oak Bay<\/strong> municipal council has taken a major step forward in its Official Community Plan process<\/a> after council selected the project\u2019s consultant.\u00a0The municipality\u2019s OCP was first created in the mid-\u201980s, and while it has been updated numerous times, there has not been a major review since it was conceived.<\/p>\n

The Township of Langley<\/strong> needs to build much more rental and affordable housing, according to the first ever housing action plan developed for the community<\/a>.\u00a0The study estimates 50,000 more dwellings will need to be built to accommodate that growth.<\/p>\n
