This is the eighteenth in the Whoa!Canada: Proportional Representation Series
No matter where you live in Canada, your Member of Parliament should be hosting a Town Hall to consult with you about electoral reform.
But we don’t have to wait for them because a large component of the ERRE Consultation Process is effectively “do-it-yourself.” That’s why Fair Vote Canada and other grass root organizations will be conducting their own community dialogues and information sessions across Canada. Any local community groups ~ anyone ~ can host their very own consultation or discussion night! If you’re interested you can get Fair Vote Waterloo’s Make Every Vote Count presentation.
September is the busy season for Electoral Reform as Canada’s Consultation process heats up in the rush to get it done.
Thursday September 8th
Kitchener Public Library presents
Fair Vote Waterloo: Make Every Vote Count
Find out why Canada is planning to modernize our voting system, and and learn how the government plans to make every vote count for Canada’s next election. Waterloo Region’s local non-partisan grass roots organization Fair Vote Waterloo will present the information about different voting system options. [note: you must register for this event]
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm at KPL Central Library Branch
85 Queen St NKitchener, ON N2H 2H1
Even if you aren’t local to Waterloo Region, there will likely be similar events taking place throughout the month of September across Canada.
Check out the Official Calendar of Electoral Reform Events, and look out for The Hon. Maryam Monsef’s Community Dialogue Tour.
