The local governing bodies have formally agreed to proceed with the consolidation process we advocated for throughout this campaign. This success belongs to the residents who maintained their commitment to administrative reform. We will now monitor the implementation phase to ensure these transitions remain transparent and effective for all communities.

Thanks for signing! Although our many petition drives across Greater Victoria race far ahead in collected signatures, our online signing efforts are really picking up steam as more and more area residents search to add their voice for change!

To the Mayor and Council of my Greater Victoria municipality:

We, the signatories below, request that the following non-binding referendum question be placed on the 2014 Municipal Election ballot:

Are you in favour of reducing the number of municipalities in the Capital Regional District through amalgamation?



Note:

The Capital Region Municipal Amalgamation Society is the sponsor of this petition. For more information, visit the website www.amalgamationyes.ca or email [email protected].(email addresses are protected by iPetition.com)

The petition question is non-binding. It is intended to assist municipalities to recognize the desire of local residents for a democratic process to exercise their electoral franchise and to initiate further studies into service integration.

Signatories should identify their municipality of residence from the drop-down menu. Although the iPetition site will display it online as 'Victoria', the petition database will record the residence correctly.

Donation solicitations received after signing are for the benefit of iPetition.com only. They are not made on behalf of Amalgamation Yes.

Way too many mayors and councils for such a small area. We are paying way too much tax for all these overlapping services. Time to get efficient.

Ridiculous that we have so many tiny municipalities right next to each other. Makes no sense at all. Amalgamate now!
