As you know the BC Provincial Election race is underway and PIPE UP wants to be engaged in the process by getting to know the candidates positions on the risks with transporting tarsands diluted bitumen; and that’s why we need you to participate!
Members of the PIPE UP Network have worked hard to collectively drafted a list of questions but now we NEED YOU to go out and get answers from our local candidates by attending the All Candidates Events in your riding, documenting the answers, and sharing with us – and your social media networks – the candidates response.
Why? We want to compile the various answers from the all candidates in the Chilliwack, Abbotsford, and Langley ridings and use those responses to produce a candidates’ “Pipeline-Position Pass or Fail” report; and in the final 2 weeks leading up to the election we will be sharing our findings with the general public through local media outlets, social media, and conversations with people.
Here is a list of the All Candidates Events in Chilliwack, Abbotsford, and Langley. To help us keep everything organized, we were hoping people would let us know which All Candidates Meetings that they can attend and participate in by using the RSVP feature on our Event Calender (link below)

***If your riding is not on this list and you wish to be involved in this process, please indicate which riding you are in, which meeting you are attending, and if you would like a list of questions.
