As you know, this organization was founded due to concerns about politics at the municipal level:
“Scientific Victoria is a fledgling political organization that advocates for the consideration of science in local government decision making. We believe this will improve governance and save tax dollars throughout the Capital regional District.”
Municipal and school board elections will be held tomorrow (on Saturday, November 19th). Scientific Victoria is not here to say how you should vote. We know that our supporters are intelligent, hold diverse political opinions and are willing to do their own research so they can make informed decisions for themselves.
That said, we would like to encourage you to exercise your democratic right to participate in this election. The polling stations will be open from 8am to 8pm. You need to bring a combination of ID and documents that will prove your identity and your address.
Here is a list of polling stations (with thanks to the Victoria Vision blog):
