- Regulatory matters
- Municipal services, like the fire department or trash collection
- Property taxes and other fees

School Board
The School Board makes decisions to do with schools, like where resources will be spent, creating new programmes, and school policies. You elect 7 school board trustees.

My name's Laef Kucheran! I'm a 22-year-old web developer from Vancouver.
I worked over 700 hours running VoteMate for this election. I volunteer all that time and pay for the site's expenses out of my own pocket because I believe it can help people vote. That matters to me.
Did VoteMate help you? Perhaps you can help me!
