MARK YOUR CALENDAR: FAIR FERRY FUNDING RALLIES: SEPTEMBER 14–17

In September, we’re taking our campaign for fair federal funding for BC Ferries on the road, and we need you to join us!

These will be quick, focused rallies--usually about 30 minutes--so you don’t have to give up a big part of your day. Just come out, grab a sign and help us send Ottawa a clear message: FAIR FEDERAL FERRY FUNDING!

A few things to know:

--Make your own sign!, if you can! Keep it simple and use “Fair Federal Ferry Funding” as the message. Or just show up, we’ll be bringing signs that you can borrow and wave.

--Please help us stay focused. These rallies are specifically about federal ferry funding, not about the provincial management of BC Ferries or other ferry issues. The clearer and more united our message is, the more effective we will be.

--Everyone is welcome. These are non-partisan rallies, and elected officials from every level of government and every political stripe are invited to join us.

--Not on our schedule? Hold your own rally! Get some friends and neighbours together, make some signs, tag us and send us your photos.

--Are you along our route? Let us know! If we can make it work, we’ll try to stop and do a quick sign wave with you along the way.

Most importantly, we need people to come out and wave signs. We’ll bring some with us, you bring your voice!

For coastal communities, ferries are essential transportation. It’s time for the federal government to recognize that and provide fair, stable, long-term federal funding for BC Ferries.

See you on the road, and remember the message: FAIR FEDERAL FERRY FUNDING!

You or someone you know may be eligible for the Disability Tax Credit and may be able to claim it retroactively for up to 10 years.

The DTC can help reduce the amount of income tax paid by people with disabilities or supporting family members. It can also open the door to other important supports, including the Registered Disability Savings Plan, the Canada Workers Benefit disability supplement, the Child Disability Benefit and the Canada Disability Benefit.

I am hosting community workshops in July to help residents learn more about the DTC, who may qualify, what documents are needed and how the application process works.

We have had tremendous success helping eligible constituents access benefits to which the are entitled.

Workshops are open to everyone, whether you are applying for yourself, supporting a family member or helping someone in the community.
