>>> 
>>> The first one is the BC referendum to move from FPTP to PR to elect BC's provincial legislature.  Polling indicates it is going to be close.  The teams in BC could us our help to get out the support they have identified in their communities.  Ballots are being mailed out on October 22nd after which BC could use our help to contact PR supporters.    Can you help make phone calls to known supporters to encourage them to mail their ballot?  Even one hour would be helpful!  
>>> 
>>> The second referendum is happening right here in Waterloo Region. On October 22nd as part of the municipal election, Cambridge is holding a referendum on moving to a ranked ballot for future municipal elections.  This is another historic opportunity to put a crack in FPTP particularly in Waterloo Region.  Do you live in Cambridge?  Do you have friends, family or colleagues that live in Cambridge?  If you do, there is a town hall meeting this Thursday at 7 pm at Wesley United Church, 6 Cambridge Street to learn more about the referendum or how you can make this happen.  Please let everyone you know (even vaguely!)  in Cambridge about the meeting and why it is important to vote yes on the referendum question on October 22nd.
