We are pleased to have launched a new platform to assist you, the voter, in choosing the municipal candidates who are aligned with your climate and environmental values.

​

Municipal governments sit on the front line of the climate fight. They control land use, waste management, and community infrastructure — decisions that directly affect carbon emissions and the preservation of natural habitats. They are also among the first to feel the impacts of a warming climate, and they hold the authority to act on both mitigation and adaptation. That makes the mayor and council members key players on issues critical to the wellbeing of our community in the face of climate impacts.

​

As part of a province-wide initiative, we engaged with candidates and asked them to complete a questionnaire to find out where they stand on climate and environmental policies. The platform, called Vote4Tomorrow, is live as of October 1, 2026. It is designed to empower and inform the public of each candidate’s position on climate and environmental policies.

We urge you to go to the Vote4Tomorrow website, search for Salmon Arm, then read up on where the candidates stand on these important issues and cast your votes accordingly.
