Announcing a new speaker and the youngest ever elected councillor in Delta Dylan Kruger. Dylan will be joining our panel to discuss the most recent municipal campaign; talk youth involvement in politics; and share some advice as a first time candidate.

The election dust has settled and the new Councillors and Mayors have sworn-in to their positions. Join PAAC-BC for an in-depth review of the 2018 municipal elections: the campaigns, views from the doorstep, voter perceptions, and wider trends. We will also discuss what we could expect for the next four years across Metro Vancouver.

Panellists:

Mario Canseco, President of Research Co.
Shauna Sylvester, independent candidate in the 2018 Vancouver Mayoral election

· Dylan Kruger, Delta City Councillor

This panel will be moderated by PAAC-BC President Kim Haakstad.

Discussion on changes to the lobbying rules in B.C. in 2019
