VREB Directors, Government Relations Committee Volunteers, and staff attended BCREA's GL Days earlier this month. The conference featured group sessions and training focused on BCREA's key lobby topics. Board representatives also met with several local MLAs to discuss these advocacy priorities.

The event included special presentations from government and media representatives and provided valuable networking opportunities for the GR Committee to connect with other volunteers from boards across British Columbia.
