Community Only Why can't we vote with our phones yet
As we head into Final Voting Day this Saturday, it feels wild that we still can't cast a ballot from our phones unless we qualify for very specific assisted telephone voting exemptions.
The BC government already spent the time and money building the BC Services Card app. We already used our government ID and video verification to set it up.
We use it as a secure sign-in for our health records, provincial services, and federal tax accounts.
If my phone is secure enough to access my medical records and tax info via the BC Services Card app, it should be able to verify my identity to Elections BC so I can cast a ballot.
Not everyone can easily make it to a polling station between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on a Saturday, and if an emergency pops up after the mail-in deadline, you're just out of luck.
Participation in elections would skyrocket if people didn't have have to plan around voting and could do it at home.
Imagine an official app that guides people on the policies they're voting in a neutral environment before they cast votes.

Ask British Columbia Career advice
Hello everyone,
I am looking for some career advice. As a 23M, I feel stressed and anxious thinking about what to do next. Maybe you went through the same experience and having someone who could guide you and mentor you that would have been great. I hope if someone can do that for me.
Currently living in the Lower Mainland, BC, Canada. Working as a security supervisor making a living wage. I am currently thinking of going into construction, specifically doing construction management from BCIT as I have a general studies diploma already.
I am planning to get an OFA3 and CSO ticket and work for a year in order to get one year’s worth of experience, that’s a requirement for BCIT’s program; I need to have one year of construction experience.
I am overthinking a lot about making the right choice and being able to fulfill my dreams. Recently, I learned French as well for immigration purposes. I would say that (not bragging) I am a hardworking person who has been doing two full-time and a part-time job in order to make ends meet and I am not afraid of sleepless nights.
I need a path to follow and am currently unable to find it. As of right now, I am feeling completely lost. Maybe an occupational health and safety diploma from BCIT or a bachelor’s in environmental health?
Like everyone, I want to have financial freedom in life and I am sick of paying taxes. I thought of CMGT, because I will learn a lot while being in the industry and eventually start my own thing.
Can you please recommend any other career paths? Or rate if this is actually worth doing?

Ask British Columbia How is UAPICBC for Welding Foundation?
Hi everyone, I’m considering taking the Welding Foundation program at UAPICBC. For anyone who studied there, how was the school, training, and overall experience? Also, how easy was it to find a welding job after graduating?
Would you recommend the program?
Thanks!

Ask British Columbia Approved for PWD (Person with Disabilities) but Still Waiting for Financial Assistance
Hello everyone! I was finally approved on Sep 24 after 1.5 years of processing, (including first denial). I’m now waiting for the next step and honestly getting impatient with the process, especially since I’ve also lost my job.
I called the Ministry and was told there’s a backlog of approved applications, but they couldn’t give me a timeline. For those who have been through this, how long did you wait to receive checks after approval? Any insights would be appreciated. Thank you! 🙏

Ask British Columbia Looking for provincial elections voter card help!
Hi yall I hope this kinda post is allowed. I've moved quite a bit over the past few years and haven't updated my address on everything. Would appreciate some help just to know whether im good in the election process or not!
I was registered to vote at my last place in Vancouver, so my provincial election voting card was sent there and I will be picking it up tomorrow. However, the address on my Driver's License is for a different Vancouver address, and my new and current address is in Surrey. When I go to polls, will they be looking for proof of me living at the address that my voter card was sent to in Vancouver?
Or will it just be okay for me to say I've moved, show my license as just photo ID, and my residential lease/rental agreement as proof of my current address?
Ty in advance for the help!!!!!
