‘A cure for cynicism:’ Experts explain why voting in B.C. municipal election is important
As British Columbians prepare for October’s municipal elections, residents should think about how their vote will influence the overall experience of living in their community, Royal Roads University communications professor David Black said.
Black said the day-to-day issues of local government require collaboration — and a more organically democratic culture. He called it an accessible, available and personal politics of the people.For the most part, each candidate has their own brand and set of ideas, which can seem unusual to voters who follow provincial party politics, Black said.
Cities also make decisions about infrastructure, such as pavement, development and greenspace. Local governments have the power to make communities more beautiful because they create the bylaws which say how and where things get built, Dale said.
