Frequently Asked Questions

How can I request assistance?

Please contact us HERE. You can either use the contact form or you can call our office during our office hours.

Do I need an appointment to speak with my MLA?

While some concerns can be addressed over the phone or by email, in-person meetings require an appointment. Contact the constituency office to schedule a time.

Can my MLA change provincial laws?

MLAs participate in debates, vote on legislation, and can introduce private members’ bills. However, passing a law requires majority support in the Legislature, so it’s a collaborative process.

Does my MLA attend local events?

Yes! MLA Anna Kindy often attends community events, celebrations, and public meetings to stay connected with local residents. If you’d like to invite MLA Anna Kindy to an event, please contact the office.

Is there a cost to using MLA services?

No. Assistance provided by your MLA’s office is free for all constituents in the North Island area.

How is my MLA different from my Member of Parliament (MP) or City Councillor?

Your MLA represents you at the provincial level of government in B.C. Legislature. Your MP handles federal matters (such as immigration, passports, and federal taxes), while your City Councillor or Mayor addresses municipal issues (such as local roads, zoning, and community planning).
