Join Stephen Tyler, who will introduce Greater Victoria Acting Together, a coalition of diverse organizations from the community including faith groups, unions, student organizations, environmental groups, and front line service agencies. GVAT’s purpose is to mobilize members to drive positive change in the community. The organization is volunteer-led and primarily powered by relationships between and within organizational members. GVAT’s members choose priority issues to study and identify specific public policy decisions as part of these issues to which they can apply their organizational power. Current priority issues are Housing, Mental Health and Addiction, and Climate Change. Stephen can provide some examples of how GVAT has moved the needle on these issues through collaboration with other community groups and through working with policy decision-makers directly.

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.
