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

Vancouver\u2019s Reliance Properties is buying the historic Board of Trade Building in Bastion Square<\/a>, betting that downtown Indonesian SBOBET Betting Company http:\/\/www.sbobet.ag<\/a> is tipping toward prosperity. \u201cThe underlying premise is that we feel very bullish about the future of the region, and downtown Victoria in particular, even though there are some signs of weakness and transition probably related to the mall at Uptown,\u201d Jon Stovell, Reliance president, said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

A plan to pave part of Bear Creek Park [in Surrey<\/strong>] has nearby residents warning the city to keep its hands off their green space<\/a>. A meeting [was] held… (Thursday) at the Bear Creek Pavilion to gauge the mood of the public on the proposed plan. So far, residents are not enthused with the idea.<\/p>\n

Skeena<\/strong> political campaigns not only disagree on policy, but also on election signs judging from comments being made. NDP campaign manager Gord Lechner is saying he had thought the parties had worked out an arrangement not to use small lawn-type signs<\/a>, typically a plastic bag shape stretched over a wire frame, on Hwy37 between Terrace and Kitimat.<\/p>\n

With total energy consumption in Whistler<\/strong> on the rise, municipal officials are turning to the private sector to find new ways to incentivize energy efficient development<\/a> through a recent Request for Proposal (RFP). \u201cWe\u2019re looking for some consultants who will look at all of the incentive ideas that are out there, so that we can then develop our own incentive policy to make more energy efficient buildings,\u201d said Whistler Mayor Nancy Wilhlem-Morden.<\/p>\n

It only cost Kelowna<\/strong> $3,500 but the city is hoping its new \u201cdowntown prospectus\u201d will generate millions in development and investment in the downtown cor<\/a>e in the years to come. The package, complete with pictures and brochures showing a vibrant, active lakefront city with young people enjoying themselves, is aimed at putting Kelowna\u2019s downtown development potential into context for what the city\u2019s executive director of business development, Jim Paterson, calls \u201cdestination\u201d retailers.<\/p>\n
