I’m Seeking the Progress Vancouver nomination for Vancouver Council. Here’s why…

Morgane Oger

Vancouver needs people to want to stay here but over the last 12 years three municipal governments have struggled to bring results to make our Vancouver affordable.

The situation is so serious that there are 12,561 fewer under-18s in Vancouver than there were in 2010.

That’s why I’m seeking the nomination with Progress Vancouver for City Council: for a thriving Vancouver where people can actually afford to live.

Find out more about why I think this really matters. Continue reading I’m Seeking the Progress Vancouver nomination for Vancouver Council. Here’s why…

BC Liberals need to jettison their social-conservative fringe and clean up

Morgane Oger

BC Liberals are discovering a problem with building their political movement’s coalition around the demands of deeply social-conservative groups is that they can be intransigent and unrepresentative of the values the party really stands for. Count on them to make more messes. Continue reading BC Liberals need to jettison their social-conservative fringe and clean up

“Each For All” with Rubin Puga

Morgane Oger

Morgane speaks about her campaign on “Each For All” with Rubin Puga [Note: This is a re-post of an update from my 2018 Vancouver School Trustee campaign] Too many parents are telling me their child is not getting the education they deserve. You expect more, and I’m here to help. Listen to this segment of Each For All with Robin Puga, as we are joined by City Council candidate Tanya Paz.

Teach hatred a lesson in irony…

Morgane Oger

A man has been wandering the streets of Vancouver since 6 October distributing flyers. There’s no place for what he is writing and no excuse for him to be putting such homophobic and transphobic rants to paper and imposing them on innocent victims. First, I’d like to start by taking a moment to thank everybody who contacted me or police in the last days regarding this. I am dismayed to know that he plans to distribute 10,000 flyes and seems to be well on his way to do so. I am mindful that children and people vulnerable to his hatred … Continue reading Teach hatred a lesson in irony…

Morgane Oger running for Vancouver Board of Education Trustee

http://votemorganeoger.ca

Education and human rights advocate Morgane Oger submitted her Nomination papers for Trustee in the 2018 Vancouver School Board election.

“Vancouver parents have been asking me to step forward as an independent candidate in this election for some time,” said Oger. “As the mom of two children in our public school system, I commit to making sure more of our K12 education funding is spent in the classroom, where it is meant to go.”

As Chair of the District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC), Oger successfully organized parents to halt the closure of 12 Vancouver schools in 2017. Raising two children downtown, Oger understands the pressures our schools face due to overcrowding, campaigning for additional school capacity as the BC NDP candidate for False Creek in the 2017 BC General election.
