Hobson elected UBCM President

Castanet:
Robert Hobson is the new president of the Union of BC Municipalities(UBCM). Hobson, who has served as vice-president of the association, was elected president this week during the UBCM's annual convention in Penticton. "It is a privilege to be elected to this position," says Hobson. "We have a lot of interesting projects we're going to be working on in the next year." Hobson, who has a seat on Kelowna City Council and also serves as chair of the Regional District of Central Okanagan, feels the upcoming year is a very important one for the UBCM. "The provincial election is happening and no doubt there will be change in B.C. We'll do our best to bring our issues to the table." Hobson's term is for one year.
