🚨 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.

Richmond residents deserve strong oversight and transparency.
✅ 8 Councillors voted YES to explore a Governance Task Force.
❌ The Mayor voted NO.

Why would any leader resist better governance in the middle of scandals and audits?

Coun. #LauraGillanders criticized some Conservative MLAs...
“tell the truth so (citizens) don’t have to worry. Our leaders need to be leaders.” #Richmondbc has built far less rental housing than other municipalities...this is a step in the right direction!
