What are the benefits of becoming a CivicInfo BC member?

To partially fund ongoing operations, the CivicInfo BC Society offers memberships to organizations and individuals who are a part of BC's local government community.

When you become a CivicInfo BC member, your dues helps to ensure continued free access to local government information, including:

  • Thousands of documents containing valuable management information.
  • Weekly newsletters.
  • Local Government news stories.
  • Local Government job postings.
  • Information about events and professional development opportunities

Other benefits of membership include:

  1. Substantial discounts when jobs are posted through the Local Government Management Association / CivicInfo BC Job Posting Circular Service.
  2. A voice in the governance of the CivicInfo BC Society, giving you an opportunity to help share the services CivicInfo BC will provide in the future.

When one considers the cost savings an organization can realize by using CivicInfo BC's information resources, membership dues is a bargain that can easily pay for itself several times over. The CivicInfo BC Board of Directors encourages your organization to purchase a membership, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with quality services in the future.
