Only 1 in 4 Richmond residents voted in our last municipal election.
That’s not just a statistic — it’s a signal.

Let’s build a city where everyone’s voice counts.

Motion passed by council 8-1 (mayor opposing) to move forward.
Why would the Mayor OPPOSE improving city council governance?

Doctors warn that forcing companies to pay $100,000 to employ foreign professionals may very well cripple the country’s medical apparatus—making it even harder for Americans to receive lifesaving care.

This kind of tax forces the world’s medical talent to look elsewhere for work. trib.al/WDJdXxn

🚨 Scam Alert in Richmond!
There are NO Chinese police stations here.
If you get a call demanding bail $, hang up & call RCMP.
In August, 6 people lost $560,000 to this scam.
Don’t be fooled—share this & protect our community.
