British Columbia, Yukon, and NWT
The National Farmers Union is organized regionally. Each Region holds an annual convention where regional officers are elected and resolutions brought forward by members of the region are debated. Resolutions that are passed at the regional level are then debated and voted on at the annual National Convention. One board member from each region serves as the Regional Coordinator. Region 8 comprises the province of British Columbia and the Yukon.
Elections in British Columbia
To assist voters in the 2024 BC Provincial Election, the National Farmers Union Region 8 (BC) sent a questionnaire to all parties and those independent candidates whose contacts could be obtained online.
The questionnaire asked about Agricultural Land Protection, Agricultural Land Access, Young Farmers, Climate Change Adaptation, Water Management, Labour Shortages, Local Food Security, and Sustainable Farming Practices. The following responses were provided by the BC NDP and three independent candidates.
