2011 Municipal Election
November 19, 2011
A healthy and vibrant business community is part of the fabric of any great community. Our Vibrant Community is a Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce-led initiative to get Victorians talking about ways to make our region even better. Economic opportunity helps improve the quality of life for all, creating the right conditions for our region to flourish. Our Vibrant Community aims to encourage discussion of the big picture, set priorities as a community and encourage debate. We seek balance, reasonable approaches, and transparency and accountability from our municipal leaders.
As part of this initiative, the Chamber has developed four pillars of good governance.
We are asking candidates in the upcoming election for their comments and support on the following:
Affordability
• Keep tax increases and spending within our means
Accountability
• Build our quality of life and save for the future
Transparency
• Actively communicate municipal business in a clear and understandable fashion
Collaboration
• Work individually and with regional stakeholders to deliver services in the most efficient and effective way
Candidates: To obtain access to the page and upload your election information, please contact Ellen Henry.
| About this Site Thank you for visiting the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce Elections pages. As elections are scheduled, we will activate appropriate sections of the web site pages. The Victoria Chamber first launched this site in advance of the 2008 municipal elections. Our goal is to provide our members and the public with an opportunity to find out how candidates for office respond to questions on issues important to small business and to the economic health of our entire community. The candidate responses are not edited by chamber staff. |
