WE Choo$e - Project Proponent Orientation

PB is a process designed by and for community members. A community-led leadership council was formed in September 2018 following a call by the City of Vancouver for volunteers and intensive outreach to community-based organizations.The self-named “WE Choo$e Impact Team” aims to be representative of the City of Vancouver’s West End residents and has designed the PB West End pilot which they are calling “WE Choo$e”, including goals, project and participant eligibility criteria, voting plans, and community outreach strategies.

WE Choo$e Impact Team

Now that the idea collection process of WE Choo$e is complete, the WE Choo$e Impact Team is seeking dedicated community volunteers to serve as "Project Proponents" to support the proposal development phase of the process. 
These incredible community volunteers will research project ideas and local needs, and ultimately identify a group of projects that will go on the ballot for a community-wide vote. You can work on projects you've proposed or that have been proposed by others. Everyone is welcome to join!
