So why are we doing this?

What's up with this election thing anyway?

Well, back in the day (a few months ago), it was a referendum on a borrowing bylaw  - more on this later - to do with the Johnson Street Bridge:

Then Victoria City Council member Sonya Chandler announced that she was leaving her position early in order to study in Europe (article in next post).

To fill this position we needed to have a by-election, a rare and unique opportunity to change our communities for the better over the next year.

The by-election and the referendum will be held at the same time, giving you the opportunity to not only elect a new city councillor, but have your say in one of the big decisions that will be faced by whoever takes Councillor Chandler's place at City Hall.
