Description:


May 14, 2013 is election day in the province of British Columbia. On that day, eligible voters  exercise their right to vote for one of the candidates in their riding to represent them in the provincial legislature.


The purpose of this toolkit is to support individuals and community groups in their advocacy for

legislation, policy and practice that benefit children and youth and their families in the lead up to the May 2013 provincial election. First Call partner organizations with expertise in different areas

contributed many of the facts, ideas and recommendations in the kit.


The toolkit is structured around the 4 Keys to Success . Each section highlights some of the current issues facing children, youth and families in BC and suggests solutions government can act on, in the form of questions to candidates as well as information about where to find the  money for children and youth. We have also included election information on how to vote and

about the parties running in the election.
