Regulating in a Political World
The 2026 Vancouver Regional Symposium will explore how regulators across British Columbia and western Canada are navigating an increasingly complex political landscape. With major legislative reforms taking effect, shifting government priorities, rising public expectations, and evolving societal debates, regulators are being asked to adapt rapidly while maintaining public trust. Through a mix of presentations, panels, and discussion-based sessions, attendees will examine issues such as oversight and amalgamation, the influence of political ideology, mobility and workforce pressures, Indigenous reconciliation, and changing government–regulator dynamics. This one-day program offers a candid, pragmatic, and forward-looking exploration of how regulatory organizations can remain responsive, resilient, and effective amid political change.
