Electoral Reform Offer: Fair Vote BC

BC has a mail-in referendum on Proportional Representation voting coming up Oct 22-Nov 30, and Fair Vote BC is offering a free guest speaker to Thetis Island residents, either in your own home or in another place that you arrange.

Typical Presentation Content:

Fair Vote BC has been selected by Elections BC as a registered third party sponsor of the "YES to PR" side in the upcoming electoral reform referendum. We are a non-partisan citizens group, not directly affiliated with nor working with any political party.

We direct voters to Elections BC and to BC Government for basic referendum information, in addition to giving a general explanation of the process that is part of our presentation. Whereas our current First Past the Post system is already well known, audiences tend to be quite interested in the alternative of Proportional Representation, which is new to many.

Biography of volunteer speaker:

Connie Foss More self-identifies as a “Lifelong Citizen” who has become even more active since her retirement from teaching music to toddlers, to youth in schools & community groups, and to adults. Fair Vote and Proportional Representation voting caught her attention as a superb way to improve our system of governance and therefore improve our lives.

If you are interested in organizing this event, preferably for a weekday evening in September, please contact part-time Thetis resident Connie More:
