All Candidates Meetings – Recordings

It’s important that you have as much information as possible when it comes time to vote.

We’ve posted the links to three recordings of ACMs that recently took place. Take a moment, grab a cup of coffee and maybe the neighbours and watch the videos. Your vote is your voice so make it heard on October 15th.

These recordings are not professionally produced – they were taken by volunteers and members of each of the communities so please keep that in mind when viewing.

*we apologize to incumbent, Trey Bell that during the the transition to the second part of the LVCA ACM recording, the opening statement was not recorded.

In chronological order:

Seymour, October 4th

300 Coffee Cards Campaign

LVCA COFFEE CARD CAMPAIGN | MARCH 2022

Outreach workers at the North Shore Lookout Society use coffee cards to encourage people without homes to make social connections, access vital health and well being services.

Last year when LVCA shared that there were people experiencing homelessness in our community, you showed incredible generosity and community spirit by donating hundreds of bags of blankets, coats, warm socks, hats and gloves. The Shelter nearly ran out of storage space! It was awesome!

Let’s be awesome again . . .
