The party has released its policy framework as we head in to this snap election. We have lots of policies on how to help rural BC communities thrive and we can boil them down into these main areas:

CORE POLICY 

• Advocating for a new Ministry dedicated to Rural Development
• Sharing of Rural Resource Industry revenues with Rural British Columbians
• Supporting vibrant, sustainable, responsible Resource Industries while also diversifying the Rural Economy (“Towns with industries, not industrial towns”)
• Equitable medical access for Rural British Columbians. Rural residents should be able to access the same medical services as urban residents without financial barrier.
• Equal access to communications infrastructure (Internet and Cellular) for Rural British Columbians
• ICBC Reform- an end to Rural B.C. subsidizing urban drivers.
• MLAs who will identify and advocate for action on issues or opportunities specific to the region they represent. The Rural BC Party will support our MLAs in getting action on important issues that go unrecognized by the other urban-centric parties.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2018/09/06 - Houston, BC

The Rural BC Party has formed and is starting to build its base as an  alternative devoted to promoting and advocating for the residents of rural BC.

We have our logos and branding documents available for use my the media.

Please open the article below for further details.

The Rural BC Party was founded in response to the growing concern that the existing major political parties are solely interested in supporting the voter-rich areas of the Lower Mainland and Southern Vancouver Island and have increasingly neglected rural BC. The Rural BC Party will stand up and fight for disenfranchised British Columbians and will build support and run provincial candidates in BC’s 23 rural ridings in the next election.
