New Local Committee Commission (LCC)All Candidates Forum
Salt Spring has decided on an innovative new decision-making body that will give eligible residents a greater voice on a range of issues, from bus service and bikeways to climate action and waste management.
On May 27th, we get to choose four local community commissioners. But first, we need to know where they stand on the issues like climate change, transportation, affordable housing, food security and more.
And we need your vote — there’s a lot at stake!
Hear what Local Community Commissioner candidates have to say on a range of important local issues by watching this free online All Candidates Forum from Tuesday, May 9th, 2023 on the Transition Salt Spring Youtube channel.
Salt Spring Islanders have some important choices to make when we choose up to four commissioners for the new CRD Local Community Commission, which 61% voted in favour of establishing in October 2022.
Which candidates are best positioned to address these urgent issues best? You decide!
A series of questions has been distributed to all registered candidates in advance to inform the discussion at the All Candidates Forum. Read those responses here.
