Our goal is to increase York Region voter turnout in the upcoming municipal election by 5%. The premise is access to candidate information and their positions on issues will increase voter information and confidence.
Voting is a right and a duty not enough of us exercise.
Roughly 35% of York Region eligible voters cast a ballot in the 2006 municipal election. That's not how we build a dynamic community.
Municipal issues touch all of us. Municipal government does a lot more than collect the garbage.
York Region's issues are big - transit, innovation, smart growth, waste management, school board. An alert, informed electorate ensures better municipal government.
Around the globe, cities are becoming more important to economic health than provinces or states. We can't afford not to care who will be our councillors and mayors.
Make an effort to make a difference.
This website is neutral. It is designed to be a source of information on every candidate running for a place on the nine Councils and York Region Council. The website will not include candidates for school trustees.
The site includes results of the 2006 municipal election.
You'll find biographical profiles. You'll help identify the issues and set the priorities for coming Council agenda.
The power of the vote is when it's cast. Vote October 25, 2010 or in an advance poll.
