Calling on BC Assessment to pause 2026 Roll changes that shift tax burdens onto residents while cutting taxes for fossil fuel companies. Proposed transmission line devaluations could cost municipalities millions. Communities need transparency, consultation, and a one-year delay. #BCpoli

Many people don't realise how climate change is already - not in the future - affecting our lives. And it's doing so in ways that, once our eyes are opened, we can notice!
