Women in Local Government is included in a 4-part fact sheet series summarizing the main issues that arose during the Action on Systemic Barriers to Women’s Participation in Local Government project.

Research found that City Councils in Vancouver and Surrey do not represent the cities’ respective populations; there is a lack of representation of diverse women and people as elected officials. This fact sheet offers an in-depth look at this issue and offers recommendations to cities and citizens on how to get involved and gain adequate representation.
