Did you hear the news? Liz Lilly and Aldous Sperl are going to be presenting!

The afternoon will start with a presentation from Aldous Sperl on local organizing and the new organization structure that the BC Green Party has adopted for the 2017 election. He will be focusing his presentation on the importance of getting involved locally and what that looks like. 

Then Liz Lilly, a Director with the BC Green Party, will lead an engaging workshop on party policy. She’ll detail the results of the recent BC Green Party survey and explain the Party’s new policy approach. This is an opportunity for you to provide input into BC Green Party policies.

Protecting your health

BC Greens recognize that airborne illnesses and pollutants pose a significant health risk to everyone, especially the young, elderly, and immunocompromised, while caregivers, healthcare professionals, and support staff come into regular contact with vulnerable persons. When choosing venues, BC Greens prioritize outdoor spaces, and indoor spaces with good ventilation. In closed indoor spaces, we encourage attendees to wear well-fitting masks (N95, KN95, or KF94), especially during the respiratory-illness season.

Creating safe spaces

The BC Green Party is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination and harassment, where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, can contribute fully and have equal speaking opportunities. To support this commitment, all event attendees will be expected to follow the standards of our Safe Spaces Participant's Guide.
