Wednesday September 25 from 11:100-12:30pm
In the 90-minute workshop, we will look beyond voting to identify ways you can make sure to have your issue heard by candidates. The more we speak up at critical times like elections, the more candidates know this is something the public cares about. If no one at a town hall asks about affordability or poverty reduction, they might think that is an issue that matters less in the riding.
Closed captioning will be used, but we do not have ASL for this session.
Register here.
Learning outcomes for this workshop include:
- Why do we engage in democratic processes?
- Forms of engagement
- Tips and tricks for engaging – focus on talking with candidates
- Making our questions for candidates
- BC elections information
