Daily Announcements – Why Vote? Ask a candidate!
Monday, Apr 16th
Why should you vote? Why not? On Monday (today) and Tuesday (tomorrow) afternoons, BSEC will host each of the major-party candidates who are running in Edmonton-Centre to be our Member of the Legislative Assembly. Why does this matter? Because this is your chance to ask them why you should vote! Ask them why all this “politics stuff” matters and why, specifically, it should matter to you. They will all have answers (you can bet on it!)
The candidate meetings will be at 1:00PM on Monday and 2:30PM on Tuesday in the Native Studies Room. Need a reason to show up? Check out the video below:
