Updated: Make your vote count on October 21

The results from recent, national polls on voter intentions show the federal Conservatives and Liberals neck and neck (it’s too close to call) while the NDP appear to be playing catch up behind the Green party.

That’s why your vote in the upcoming Federal election on October 21 will count and make a difference.

But, how will you vote and what’s going to be your deciding factor? Will you vote for the local candidate whose views best reflect your own and most deserves your support, or will you vote strategically for the political party that strikes you as the best party to lead the country into 2021?

Plan to attend a FREE all-candidates meeting held in the Fraser Valley leading up to the Federal election to help you decide!

Your Board’s Government Relations Committee volunteers will be supporting not one, not two, but nine meetings covering all nine federal election ridings in our region starting on September 25. We’ll be asking the candidates at least two questions on housing issues and actively volunteering to help the organizers ensure the meetings go smoothly.

Join other Realtors in learning about the candidates and ask them questions of your own. This is your chance to hear from the candidates before you need to pick one to support.

If you’d like to help the Board volunteers at the meetings, please email Debbie so she can let them know.

Here’s a list of election meetings we’re supporting his year
Note: Some require pre-registration and some will not be accepting questions for the candidates from the floor.
