Community Conversation Series May 25

Help Waterloo Region's Citizens to Take Back their Votes! 
26.5% voter turnout in 2006 left almost ¾ of our citizens without a voice in local government.
 
Will anything change in 2010?
 
Why don't people vote? What can we do to support those most affected by public policy to raise their collective voice?
 
Join us to learn more about local initiatives and engage our imaginations to engage the community!
