[fvc-wat-disc] OUTREACH ON PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION

[Matthew Piggott]

Hi David,

*I would suggest you contact the following groups:*
Libro Credit Union via Sean Campbell
Kindred Credit Union
Central Ontario Co-operative Housing Federation (COCHF) and working through
them try to get one local housing co-op to switch (maybe the student co-op
called WCRI up at UWaterloo?)

The student union of WLU already uses STV for their elections. What about
UWaterloo or Conestoga College?

In my work outside of Waterloo Region we are working on a PR implementation
guide for civil society organizations. If you would like to collaborate on
this, and more importantly work on implementing it locally that would be
appreciated.

Sincerely,

Matthew Piggott
