Waterloo and Fair Vote Canada Waterloo are teaming up to host "The People's
Summit on Democracy", Thursday November 24, 7 PM, at the Lyle S. Hallman School
of Social Work, 120 Duke Street West in Kitchener. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The People's Summit is a chance for citizens
interested in improving democracy in Canada to discuss their ideas and concerns
with others, and find ways to take action. The event topics are government
transparency, voter turnout, campaign financing and party cooperation. The event
is unique in that it gives ordinary people the opportunity to talk to others
across party lines and debate issues of common concern, without the competition,
partisanship and disrespect characteristic of the the House of Commons.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The Summit is the 5th event in the "Participate!"
series, which aims to engage voters between elections. Surveys were sent to
local supporters of CAPP and Fair Vote asking people to rank issues they wanted
to discuss and ballots were counted using Single Transferable Vote (a
proportional system).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Everyone is welcome to attend. The event is free,
wheelchair accessible, and refreshments are provided. Parties and community
groups will have tables set up in the room and we welcome more.</FONT></DIV>
