A municipal party that had disappointing results in the last civic election is looking ahead to the next one.
The Coalition of Progressive Electors, or COPE, has held its Annual Policy Conference.
Executive Director Sean Antrim, says in the years between elections, members meet to start talking about issues they should start working and doing research on, “Some of the issues that we focused in on was sustainable transportation with an equality lens on that. So, looking at ways where we can make transportation more accessible to people who don’t necessarily ride their bicycle everywhere, for example.”
Antrim says a speaker who works with sex workers was also there, talking about how the city can be made safer and healthier for sex workers in light of the missing women inquiry.
Just one COPE member was elected in the 2011 election.
