Support the Campaign

Two ways to help: contribute to the campaign, or volunteer your time.

Donate

<p>Campaign contributions pay for the material a municipal campaign needs to reach voters: yard signs, printed literature, the domain and hosting fees for this site, event supplies, and food for the volunteer sessions where the door-knocking lists get built and the calls get made. Every contribution goes directly to campaign expenses, and the campaign's financial agent tracks and reports every dollar to Elections BC under the Local Elections Campaign Financing Act.</p>

<h3>How to contribute by e-transfer</h3>

<ol class="support-list">
  <li>Send an Interac e-transfer to <strong><a href="mailto:elect@mpmiller.ca">elect@mpmiller.ca</a></strong>. Auto-deposit is set up, so no security question is needed.</li>
  <li>In the e-transfer message field, include your <strong>full legal name and residential address</strong>. The Local Elections Campaign Financing Act requires the campaign to record this information for every contribution.</li>
  <li>Send the e-transfer from a personal account. Contributions from a joint account are attributed to whichever account holder the e-transfer identifies as sender.</li>
</ol>

<h3>The rules, in short</h3>

<ul class="support-list">
  <li><strong>Who can contribute.</strong> Individuals ordinarily resident in British Columbia. Contributions from corporations, unions, and other organizations are prohibited under provincial law. Contributions from individuals who are not BC residents are also prohibited.</li>
  <li><strong>The 2026 limit.</strong> $1,429.70 per contributor to this campaign for the calendar year. This limit is set by Elections BC and adjusts annually with the Consumer Price Index.</li>
  <li><strong>Public disclosure.</strong> Contributions of $100 or more are published by name and amount in Elections BC's Financial Reports and Political Contributions System after the campaign period. Contributions under $100 are recorded but not published by name.</li>
  <li><strong>Anonymous contributions.</strong> Only permitted in amounts of $50 or less, and only when genuinely anonymous (e.g., cash in a donation box at an event). Any contribution above $50 must be identified.</li>
  <li><strong>Tax receipts.</strong> Contributions to municipal campaigns in British Columbia are not eligible for tax receipts. The campaign will confirm receipt of your contribution for your records.</li>
  <li><strong>In-kind contributions.</strong> Donated goods or services (printing at cost, use of office space, professional services below market rate) count as contributions at their market value, and are subject to the same limit and rules. Contact the campaign before making an in-kind contribution.</li>
</ul>

<p>Questions on eligibility, limits, or reporting should be directed to the campaign's financial agent by emailing <a href="mailto:elect@mpmiller.ca">elect@mpmiller.ca</a>.</p>

Volunteer

<p>A municipal campaign runs on volunteer hours more than any other input. Every door knocked, every call placed, and every sign delivered is a volunteer's afternoon. If you have a few hours a week, there is a role that fits.</p>

<h3>Where the campaign needs help</h3>

<ul class="support-list">
  <li><strong>Door-to-door canvassing.</strong> Evenings and weekends in your own neighbourhood.</li>
  <li><strong>Phone banking.</strong> Weekday evenings, from home or from the campaign office once it opens.</li>
  <li><strong>Event support.</strong> Setup, greeting, teardown at community events and candidate forums.</li>
  <li><strong>Sign delivery and pickup.</strong> Vehicle useful but not required.</li>
  <li><strong>Data entry and follow-up.</strong> Entering canvass results, tracking volunteer availability, coordinating callbacks.</li>
  <li><strong>Translation and community outreach.</strong> French, Punjabi, Mandarin, Cantonese, Tagalog: any second-language capacity is welcome.</li>
  <li><strong>Skilled help.</strong> Graphic design, photography, video editing, accounting. If you have a professional skill and want to donate the time, the campaign will find a use for it.</li>
</ul>
