Provincial Elections Workshop

This election training will engage people in communities across Ottawa so they can inspire their family, friends and neighbours to make informed choices when voting for a candidate/party and make their views known in the provincial elections – whether or not they are eligible to vote.

In these three virtual sessions, we will learn together about the upcoming provincial election. With the help of various explanatory videos and interactive activities, we will explore why provincial election matters and the influence we can have leading up to the provincial election. Even if we cannot vote, we can still have an influence by talking to our family and friends about voting. Come learn why it matters.
