The powers of local governments generally depend on those conferred upon them by higher-level jurisdictions (such as a provincial or state government). For example, the powers of local governments in the Canadian province of British Columbia are as set out in the Municipalities Act of the provincial legislature. Additional powers can be granted with supplementary legislation, such as those granted by the Vancouver Charter for the City of Vancouver (above and beyond those powers already granted to other local governments).
