2025 AGM & Convention

The 2025 AKBLG Convention and AGM will be held in Kimberley and will run between Friday, April 25th – Sunday, April 27th. It will be held at the Kimberley Conference Centre at the Kimberley Alpine Resort.


The 2025 convention theme will focus on Strengthening Our Foundations


‘Foundation’ is multifaceted, encompassing everything from the literal, structural elements of our built and natural environments, to the core values and relationships that shape one’s ethos. Similarly, strengthening can take many forms depending on the circumstances – whether it’s through renewal and revitalization, making strategic investments, or simply pausing to reflect and reassess.


It is the Organizing Committee’s hope that the 2025 theme will provoke collective thought, discussion, and action within those attending.
This year’s Convention Planning Committee consists of:

  • Wesley Routley (Chair), Town of Golden
  • Thea Hanson, City of Trail
  • Colleen Jones, City of Trail
  • Kevin McIsaac, City of Fernie
  • Aidan McLaren-Caux, Village of Nakusp
  • Linda Tynan, AKBLG Executive Director
  • Sandra Roberts (local organizing committee) – City of Kimberley
  • Jasmine Nelson (local organizing committee) – City of Kimberley


The committee is supported by AKBLG Convention Coordinator – Andrea Tubbs.
