[Commongood] BC-STV Information Session

[Phil Brienesse]

*BC - Single Transferable Vote Information Session
Sunday May 3rd
1:30pm at the Old Church
*


Hi Everyone,

As you may have heard there is a referendum on Electoral Reform in the
upcoming May 12th provincial election.  The system being proposed to replace
our current system is *BC - Single Transferable Vote*.  Many people I have
talked to are not 100% clear on what the system is or how it works.  In
order to help you make an informed decision there will be an *information
session on* *Sunday May 3rd, 1:30pm at the Old Church.

*Bruce Hallsor will be coming to speak on the topic.  Bruce is the National
VP for Fair Vote Canada and made recommendations to the Citizens Assembly on
Electoral Reform on the different voting systems in use around the world and
the options available to BC.  We are very lucky to have such an informed
individual available to speak in Smithers.  Aside from his role in Fair Vote
Canada, Bruce has been appointed by the Provincial Government to serve on
the Provincial Child Care Council, and the City of Victoria Board of
Variance. He is a former member of the B.C. Chief Electoral Officer's
Advisory Committee, and he has a long history of political involvement
including standing for election to Parliament in the 2000 federal election.
Bruce is also on the Board of Workstreams, a non-profit society that trains
chronically unemployed people and assists them with job placement. Bruce has
also been a cub leader, chair of two strata corporations, and a director of
a summer camp for underprivileged youth.

Bruce will do a presentation and then there will be a Q & A session.

I have attached a pdf that explains the main points of BC-STV for those of
you who are unable to attend.
