Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
On October 24, we will choose the next government of British Columbia. I encourage every eligible Catholic in the Archdiocese of Vancouver to take part by voting prayerfully and with a well-formed conscience.
The decisions made by our provincial government affect our families, our communities, and especially those who are most vulnerable. They touch many parts of our daily lives, including health care, education, housing, and public safety. As Catholics, we are called to consider these issues in light of our faith, always respecting the dignity of every person and seeking the good of all.
Voting is one way we can take responsibility for the life of our community and help shape the future of our province. I hope you will take part.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
✠ Richard W. Smith
Archbishop of Vancouver
