I've copied the invitation below.
In fairness to them, they sent one invitation to the e-mail address waterlooregion at fairvote.ca which goes to all 8 members of the FCV-WRC executive.

I deleted the invitation, but I think Bob or Vern has it, and Donna is going.
Can one of you post it for everyone to see what the event is about?
Thanks!

Hi Anita
A democratic roundtable open to all would be well attended.
Can you tell me more about the undemocratic variety laid on by the Con this
week? When? Was it "reported" at all. Its stated goals, etc ?
George

Hello Fair Vote supporters in Waterloo Region! I hope everyone is having a
great
summer.
This year our Fair Vote team has been quite active. The need for electoral
reform has never been more clear! We were out at the No Prorogue rallies,
and
organized two successful and well attended events in partnership with CAPP
(the
Participate event about building democracy, and the Strategic Voting
Debate). We
also had tables at the Multicultural Festival and NonViolence Festival
this
summer, where we collected pages of signatures for the Declaration of
Voter's
Rights, signed up three new members for Fair Vote Canada, and added many
names
to our mailing list. We were also glad to add three members to our
executive in
June! Thank you everyone for all your support of our local chapter.
This fall we would like to organize more events in partnership with CAPP.
This
week, the local Conservatives (Mr. Braid and Mr. Woodworth) are having a
"Roundtable on Democratic Reform" in Kitchener, hosted by the Minister of
Democratic Reform Stephen Fletcher. This is a "by invitation only" event.
I
wonderered what others thought about hosting our own "Roundtable on
Democratic
Reform" this fall, with a couple of speakers on different ideas for reform
and
a discussion open to everyone?
The other ideas we have been considering for fall are an "Electoral Reform
101"
type session with a mock vote, where participants can find out how PR
systems
work, and a debate/discussion on the changing role of the media in
politics.
Any input to our planning team is much appreciated. (And of course, and
open
invitation to join the planning team anytime!).
Sincerely,
Anita Nickerson
Secretary, Fair Vote Waterloo Region
