Municipal Matters: How the Provincial Government is Cutting Out Community Choice

Our provincial government has been eliminating the rights of municipalities to make community based decisions and taking democratic choice from our elected civic leaders.

The provincial government has:
* Signed TILMA (Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement) - no consultation, but overrules municipal authority
* Ok’ed Run of the River projects- BC-wide privatized power production without public oversight
* Changed to the Translink Board - now appointed not elected
* Ignored Vancouver’s Housing Crisis - shrinking provincial funding for crucial support

Hear experts talk about the changes in legislation and what we can do to have our voices heard and get this power back
