bc’s MUNICIPAL ELECTIONs are APPROACHING
Here’s who your Labour Councils endorse
Your democratic muscle is strongest at the local level, so don’t waste this opportunity to flex. Oct. 15, 2022 is voting day in BC. If you’re 18 plus, be sure to hit the polls, have your say, and cast a ballot for the the municipal politicians that you support.
Municipalities have jurisdiction over several issues that matter most to working people, including housing, local parks, waterways, roads and parking, libraries and more. If you don’t know about the candidates who are running in your area and their stance on these issues, UFCW 1518 recommends you do some research.
