[fvc-wat-announce] Information Nights: April 10 and other second Tuesdays

[Paul Nijjar]

Does "first-past-the-post" voting frustrate you?

Are you curious about proportional representation?

Did you know that we could achieve proportional representation for Ontario 
this October?

We at Fair Vote Canada invite you to learn more about electoral reform by 
attending an upcoming Information Night. We'll talk about some flaws with 
our current voting system, how elections might work under a different 
system, and our big chance to vote for positive change in an Ontario 
referendum this October 10. Then we'll have some open discussion to answer 
other questions about electoral reform you might have.

We'll be holding Information nights on the second Tuesday of every month 
from now until October: April 10, May 8, June 12, July 10, August 14, 
September 11 and October 9. Each session will be self-contained and will 
assume no prior knowledge of electoral reform, so you can attend any one 
of them and get a good sense of what is going on. This is also a great 
opportunity to invite your friends and family to learn about these issues.

The information nights will be held at the Lyle S. Hallman Faculty of 
Social Work building in downtown Kitchener (120 Duke Street West, behind 
Kitchener City Hall). Each session will begin at 7:00pm. You can find maps 
and directions by visiting our chapter's website:

It is no exaggeration to say that the decisions we Ontarians make over the 
next few months will shape the future of democracy in this country.  It's 
time to get informed, get active, and make positive change.

activities you can contact Paul (pnijjar at sdf.lonestar.org) or Derek

P.S. We are also happy to arrange additional information sessions. If you 
belong to a group (school, work, church group, community group, 
neighbourhood association, riding association...) that might be interested 
in learning more about voting reform, please contact us and we can arrange 
to have a speaker give a presentation to your group. Also get in touch if 
you would like to attend an information night, but cannot make any of the 
ones we have scheduled.

P.P.S. Please help spread the word by sending this announcement forward.
