Welcome to the Kootenay-Monashee Electoral District Association

Mission Statement

The Conservative Kootenay Monashee Electoral District is a grass roots movement of the people to restore strong leadership in our province's political sphere and to live up to our potential as an economic leader while maintaining high environmental standards. We want to get back to why people live here; to prosper, to enjoy, and to belong.

Purpose

Our Mission is to restore the Kootenay's economic and social prosperity. Change needs to happen and we want healthy communities to thrive again in our region.

Values

The Kootenay-Monashee EDA is committed to the guiding principles of the BC Conservative's common sense approaches to managing our economics, health care, and communities. We value the livelihoods of our community members and want to increase the quality of life and living standards for the people of this province.

Goals

Our goals are to remove the red tape and promote economic development, responsibly manage tax payer money, give hope and provide resources to the vulnerable in our communities, provide timely and exceptional health care, and ensure personal rights to property and land.
