SMP Municipal Advocacy

Committee Chair: Grant Greaves

Expanding the good work PAC already does in Vancouver to the Okanagan!

Goals for the year:

1. Generate areas of focus within the Kelowna and Okanagan areas

2. Interface with community groups already fighting the good fight

3. Propose a “Call to Action” to local government on an area of our choosing

Example foci:

• Addressing the needs of the homeless population of Kelowna (PiT survey, shelter visits, etc)

• Addressing the high opioid overdose rate in Kelowna (Naloxone training workshop, spreading awareness)

• Partnering with KCR to expand Mental Health and Social programs

• Your own creative idea!
