Parliamentary Trailblazers in British Columbia
OCTOBER IS WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH Parliamentary Trailblazers in British Columbia This handout highlights women from British Columbia who achieved significant ‘firsts’ for women in Parliament. Their achievements would not have been possible without the success of the women’s suffrage movement. Between 1891 and 1914, 16 women’s suffrage bills were introduced and defeated in British Columbia’s Did You Know? Legislative Assembly. In 1916, Premier William Bowser The term suffrage means the decided to hold a referendum on the issue in conjunction with the provincial general election. The referendum results right to vote in parliamentary elections. revealed that 65% of the men who voted were in favour of extending the franchise to women in British Columbia.

Proposal for Regional Members at Large
PROPOSAL FOR REGIONAL MEMBERS AT LARGE Contents 1 Proposal 1 2 Suggested Ballot 2 3 Regions Defined 3 4 Election Results 2001, 1996, and 1991 6 Under This Proposal 5 Actual Election Results 2001, 1996 and 1991 9 By Region. R.M. Giza Sechelt, B.C. 1 R. M. Giza Sechelt, B.C. PROPOSAL This proposal is a system for adding regionally-based seats to the legislature in addition to the normally elected members. This is a minimalist change which still alleviates the problems which have plagued our system - no effective opposition, no representation for parties with a significant vote percentage; and anomalies like /96 where a majority government was achieved with a lower popular vote than the second party. This system recognizes the unique regions of this Province and allows ‘Members at Large’ to be elected to represent their region and party where otherwise regional perspectives would be under-represented. Five regions are suggested North, Interior, Island, Vancouver, Fraser. All candidates would have two ways of being elected - greatest number of votes in the riding as normal or as a Regional ‘Member at Large’ (M@L). An M@L seat is won if a candidate or party attains a given threshold percentage of tallied votes in the Region. A party without a candidate in a riding would still have the party name on the ballot with the designation M@L. Independent candidate names would also appear on all ballots within the Region - not only in their home riding (again the designation M@L would appear with the name in a non-home riding). -

AmarjA·~ eet s: Rattan . Director, Intergovernmental Relations & Protocol Unit (604-247-4686) Att.2 REPORT CONCURRENCE ROUTED To: CONCURRENCE CONCURRENCE OF GENERAL MANAGER Planning REVIEWED BY STAFF REPORT I INITIALS: AGENDA REVIEW SUBCOMMITTEE 4560643 GP - 17 April 21, 2015 - 2 - Staff Report Origin This staff report is in response to the following referral from the April 7, 2015 General Purposes Committee meeting: That the Proposed Revised Provincial Electoral Boundaries be referred to stafffor further analysis and to report back to Committee. Findings of Fact Since 1965, eight independent Electoral Boundaries Commissions (EBC) have been appointed in British Columbia. British Columbia is currently divided into 85 areas called electoral districts. Each electoral district is represented by one Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). Every eight years an independent commission reviews the electoral district boundaries and names. This ensures that each MLA represents about the same number of people. Richmond Electoral Boundaries The 1966 EBC recommended that the electoral district of Delta be divided into four: Richmond, Delta, Surrey and Langley. The Richmond district would correspond exactly with the boundaries of the City of Richmond, while the Delta district would include all of the municipality of Delta, the south-western portion of Surrey (Crescent Beach) and White Rock. -
