Who represents us in Victoria matters. Provincial decisions shape health care, child care, schools, jobs and the services newcomers, families and seniors rely on every day.
OCCA invited Central Okanagan candidates in the BC provincial election to answer three questions about priorities that matter to our community:
-Multicultural Inclusion, Economic Participation & Belonging
-Youth, Families & Seniors
-Civic Participation & Representation
