No government decides this directly. Conference organizers decide where to meet.

Councils: last general local election October 17, 2026; next on October 19, 2030, the third Saturday of October set by the Local Government Act, s. 52.

Each row says what a body decides and links to the law, order or bylaw that gives it that role. It does not say who caused a change: markets, households and other governments also move these numbers. Who decides what, for every measure · How we choose

What this number does not show

In plain words

Delegate days at the City-owned Victoria Conference Centre from January to the latest quarter (one non-resident attendee for one day), from the City’s quarterly economic dashboard.

How we decide “About the same”

The change is 2.8% of the earlier value, below the 5% threshold.

More delegate days means more conference visitors coming to Victoria. 52,085 from January to June 2026 against 50,676 in the same months of 2025 (+2.8%), adding the quarterly totals in the City’s economic dashboards (Q1: 2025 18,012, 2026 15,429 (dashboard Q1 2026); Q2: 2025 32,664, 2026 36,656 (dashboard Q2 2026)).

Outcome measures read Better, Worse or About the same; published government targets read Ahead of, On or Behind target; value-judgement measures read Rising, Falling or Steady in a neutral colour. A change smaller than the agency's own margin of error, or otherwise smaller than 5% of the earlier value, is About the same (or Steady). No change is calculated across a marked break in a series. The rule.

All notes on this number

Why it matters. Conference visitors fill hotels and restaurants outside the summer peak.

  • A delegate day is one non-resident attendee at a conference for one day, as the City’s dashboard defines it: 100 delegates at a three-day conference make 300 delegate days.
  • The dashboard does not name a separate source for this figure; its footer says all data are gathered by the City of Victoria except where noted. The Victoria Conference Centre is owned by the City.
  • Conferences are booked years ahead and vary in size, so one quarter can swing the total.
