Update: Click here for election results. Thanks to all those who got involved by voting and even running for office! November 15 marks yet another election day in BC. This time it is a municipal election in which mayors, councilors, school trustees, and others will be elected across the province. It can be very difficult to know who to vote for. That is one of the reasons why Langley ARPA's Neil Dykstra and Surrey ARPA prepared extensive voter's guides to shed some light on voting in their respective municipalities.

And remember to vote on Saturday!
