13 Municipalities, but only one planet: The challenge of creating a One Planet Region
The greatest challenge we face in the 21st century is how all of humanity can live well and in balance with nature within the limits of the one small planet that is our home. But what does that mean here in the Greater Victoria Region? How are we to reduce our ecological footprint by 75%, swiftly, to live within the ecological ceiling while meeting the social foundation for all, bringing 13 different municipalities together to do that?

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.
