Interested in writing a letter to the editor or to your local candidate about the importance of community social services, but not sure where to start?
The Take Action! page above offers great tips and contact information for candidates and newspapers.
The best letters are based on your experiences. But here’s help in explaining what the sector does, and why it matters.
“We are the people and agencies who provide help when individuals and families are in need. We work with children and families in crisis, help people find jobs, counsel families dealing with addiction, work with moms and dads to be the best parents possible and help seniors stay in their homes. We work with some 320,000 people every year, helping them deal with life’s tough problems. Wherever there’s a need for help, we’re likely there, building stronger families, communities and a better B.C.”
The election campaign officially starts today. You can be a bystander, or a participant. The sector - and the families, children and youth and individuals it supports - needs participants.
