Mission

(Strategically, how will get get from today's culture of Council Centric - Elite Few decision making to Silent Majority decision making... Civix Vision).

Civix needs Resources, Processes and a Focus to achieve its mission:

• Resources: Volunteers, Money, software, dedicated supporters

• Processes: How we make decisions and how we treat visitors to our site and members.

• Focus: What is our obsession? Elect the next Council in West Vanocuver.

• Create a new local political party that will, with input from residents, develop a draft Platform which will evolve by facilitating input from the community by way of electronic polling, comments and suggestions documented in a transparent manner. On this site a Civix Blog is used to record all comments and suggestions

• Require all candidates that Civix endorses and supports to endorse the Civix platform.

• Collectively, create the job description and qualifications of the ideal candidates who will run in the next municipal election in 2022 taking into account:

  • life experiences

  • knowledge, skills and abilities

  • diversity

  • Expertise (like finance, planning, budgeting ..)

• Based on this ‘job description’, canvass potential candidates and evaluate and select those candidates who believe in the Civix Platform and are committed to converting WestVan to a semi-direct democracy governance model.

• Support each candidate with the objective of electing at least 5 candidates in 2022 who have endorsed the Civix Platform (as it evolves with community input)
