It’s election time - Ask your MLA candidate about their commitment to Healthcare
As healthcare continues to be a pressing issue in British Columbia, it's essential for voters to engage with political candidates on matters that directly impact the well-being of our communities. Asking the right questions ensures that candidates are not only aware of the challenges facing our healthcare system but are also prepared to advocate for meaningful reforms. This guide highlights critical questions voters can ask candidates running for MLA positions to gauge their commitment to improving healthcare services, ensuring transparency, and addressing the gaps in accessibility, staffing, and funding. By fostering informed dialogue, we can hold our future leaders accountable and push for a healthcare system that works for everyone. - Share the responses you get with us on our blog, or Facebook Group.

Taking STEPS to improve our health
TAKING STEP TO IMPROVE OUR HEALTH - Weekly Event Starting Feb 1
Join us while we walk around the Legislature demonstrating that WE are taking steps to improve our health, and we expect our government to do the same.
How do we move forward?
We see people across all provinces and even across many countries, struggling with their healthcare system. It can feel like the issue is too big and that each of us is too small to make a difference. If you’ve had this thought you are not alone. We would encourage you to pause and ground yourself in the moment. If you focus on the here and now, on your family and community, you will see more clearly that this is an issue you can have an impact on and one your community NEEDS you to advocate for.
