Green Politics in BC

The Green Party of BC was founded in 1983 and our leader is Jane Sterk, an elected city councilor. We are encouraged to see the BC Liberals implement policy that we have been advocating for twenty years (i.e. healthy foods in schools, tax benefits for healthy living, carbon tax). The Green Party of BC is focused on seeing STV pass in 2009 and on elected MLA's in 2009. As of March 2008 we are polling between 16% - 21% province wide.

Thank You for your support - the future looks bright

Representing the Green Party of BC in the May 2005 provincial elections was a great honor.

We found the results challenging but are excited by our chance for representation in the 2009 election. As Jim Harris commented, "our air campaign (i.e. PR) was strong in Point Grey but our ground campaign (i.e. GOTV) was under staffed."

Thank you to our team members, especially JM and Charlie, who devoted countless hours for months leading up to the election.

The campaign experience was invaluable and with a continued focus on innovative policy we are confident our impact will be felt within the legislative assembly in the near future.

I am on a learning and traveling sabbatical myself and encourage you to click on www.learningtheworld.com. I encourage you to support the Vancouver Greens in Novembers municipal elections - www.vancouvergreens.ca.

It is encouraging to see Mr. Campbell accelerate the move to reconcile with our First Nation partners and I am encouraged by his commitment to the democratic pursuit of electoral reform.

To all those working to improve our health and social programs I thank you.
To those of you reducing our collective impact and making a profit I thank you.

Feel free to drop me a line at damianbc@telus.net.

Sincerely,
Damian Kettlewell
2005 Green Party Candidate, Vancouver Point Grey
