1. I am willing to help a shift on Saturday JUly 24 for the multicultural festival in Victoria Park Kitchener.  

2. Hi Paul J Schellenberg,
We do need a Citizens Assembly to study your proposal.
I do not feel up to it to respond by email, although would be willing to dialogue in person/ perhaps at the Multicultural Festival July 24 and July 25.
Would you be willing to join FVCWR in requesting a Citizens Assembly?

3. I am sometimes torn between waiting to vote for the candidate and wanting to vote for a different Party.
Then I wonder why a person is qualified to drive a car, but is not qualified to vote.
Then I wonder if someone who has dementia/ should they have a vote (but now I am getting in dangerous waters!)

To Whom It May Concern: 
I have been lobbying for electoral reform for more than 15 years. It is extremely disappointing to me that our system of governance completely disregards the majority of votes cast in our general elections. (I only have evidence of this for the 2022 Ontario Provincial election. See the attached essay.)


Given this fact, is it any surprise that voter turn-out continues to decline? 

Just another voice crying out for a more just democracy,

Hello, everyone!

Apologies to those getting this twice. 

We need lots of help this year at the Multicultural Festival! 

They've extended the hours on Saturday this year and we need a big team to pull this off - it's the biggest event of the year for the local chapter. It helps build our local team and grow the FVC campaign. 

If you can do a shift please respond to me directly :) (At this email anitann88 at gmail.com OR better yet at anita.nickerson at fairvote.ca) 

Thank you!

Anita





Help needed for the KW Multicultural Festival June 24 and 25. Can you do a shift at the Fair Vote Canada table?
Hello Fair Vote Canada supporters in Waterloo Region! 
Almost every year, the Fair Vote Waterloo Region chapter does tables at summer festivals. We talk to people about proportional representation, hand out flyers and invite people to sign a petition.

The KW Multicultural Festival in Victoria Park is our biggest festival of the year, and we rely on volunteers to make it happen! 
We need volunteers for the table on Saturday June 24 or Sunday June 25. Can you help?

The shifts are about 3 hours and you'll be paired with an experienced volunteer. 
If you can help on either of those days, please respond to this email and let me know!

Thank you for supporting the campaign to Make Every Vote Count. 

Anita Nickerson
Executive Director, Fair Vote Canada
