It’s been nine years of job losses, health care privatization, falling wages, and environmental neglect.

It’s time for change.

Join a compelling line-up of speakers to learn how you can inspire democratic participation in your community:

Speakers
• Maude Barlow, National Chairperson, Council of Canadians
• Jerry Dias, National President, Unifor
• Michael Blais, President and Founder, Canadian Veterans Advocacy
• Christine Jones, Co-Chair, Canadian Peace Alliance
• Larry Rousseau, Regional Executive Vice-President, PSAC National Capital Region
• Grace Iyabosa, Ottawa ACORN leader

Together, we can choose a government that creates good jobs, invests in public health care, addresses climate change, and so much more.

This event is organized by the Council of Canadians in partnership with the Public Service Alliance of Canada, ACORN Canada, and Unifor.

The public forum will be followed by a hands-on workshop on how to increase voter turnout in your neighbourhood (date and location TBA)
