Healthy and Resilient BC: A Voter’s Guide

BC is facing a perfect storm of intersecting crises: affordability, extreme weather due to climate change and a healthcare system under strain.

All of these issues are adding to poor mental health, which is making the opioid and substance use crisis worse.

The good news is that with the upcoming provincial election on October 19, we have the chance to call on our candidates to act on these issues.

Our election website, Healthy and Resilient BC: A Voter’s Guide, details healthy living issues and policies that we want our elected officials to know are important. It links to an email function that makes it easy to contact the candidates running in your area highlighting key health facts and policy recommendations to prevent chronic disease.

Add your voice! Tell decision-makers there is so much more we can do to prevent disease and make our communities healthier for all.
