We need your help. On Sunday, Feb. 24 we will be meeting to establish the executive for the Saanich South BC Green riding association. This team will work together to increase our presence in the community, build our campaign infrastructure, identify supporters and recruit potential candidates to run in the next election.
All members in Saanich South are invited to join us and celebrate our success so far and prepare for the road ahead. The meeting will take place on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 3 PM at 5392 Sayward Hill Cresc. in Cordova Bay. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
Please RSVP by emailing [email protected] so we know how many to expect (or if we need a bigger space).
During our AGM, we will be filling the roles of president, financial coordinator, communications coordinator and data coordinator, which are the minimum required positions for formation. We will also be looking to fill the roles of membership chair, event chair, media chair and fundraising chair. Below is a brief description of what the positions entail.
If you are interested in any of these positions, please email [email protected] by Friday, Feb. 15 to indicate your interest.

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.
