The CCPA has a useful fact sheet on health care and community supports for seniors here.
Even more useful, it offers suggested questions citizens can put to all candidates and political parties on the issue.
It’s good to understand issues. It is better to act to make things better.
And that can be as easy as writing to candidates and parties and letting them know that why community social services - like support for seniors - matter. Or asking questions like the ones raised by the CCPA, either in letters to candidates or newspapers or at all-candidates forums and meetings.
Candidates and parties respond to issues that matter to the public. They need to hear the sectors’ concerns.
The Tyee has a good election site that includes contact information for many local candidates, so it’s easy to let them know why the issues are important. Party websites also have contact information.
And this blog and the Community Counts Facebook page are great sources of information.
Use them. Act.
