About DREAM Delta
DREAM Delta is an independent, community-based civic advocacy initiative formed to promote public engagement on matters relating to local governance, land use planning, and community development within the City of Delta.
DREAM Delta is not a registered political party, electoral organization, or third-party advertising sponsor under the provisions of the Local Elections Campaign Financing Act (“LECFA”), and does not currently engage in activities that would require such registration.
Nature of Activities
DREAM Delta’s activities are limited to:
- Issue-based advocacy relating to public policy matters, including but not limited to land use planning, development, governance standards, and civic accountability
- Public education and awareness initiatives
- Encouraging civic participation, including voter engagement and turnout
DREAM Delta does not:
- Endorse, support, or oppose any candidate, electoral organization, or slate
- Coordinate with candidates or political campaigns
- Direct or influence voting behaviour in favour of or against any individual candidate
Election Advertising and Compliance
DREAM Delta is committed to full compliance with LECFA and applicable guidance issued by Elections BC.
To that end:
- DREAM Delta does not conduct election advertising, as defined under LECFA, including any paid or sponsored communication that promotes or opposes candidates or is intended to influence voting outcomes
- DREAM Delta does not incur expenses for election advertising that would trigger registration requirements as a third-party sponsor
- All communications issued by DREAM Delta are intended solely for informational and educational purposes
In the event that DREAM Delta’s activities evolve in a manner that may constitute regulated election advertising, appropriate steps will be taken to ensure full compliance, including registration and reporting as required by law.
