| On October 24th, Ontarians are heading to the polls to vote in every municipality across this province. As members of the largest public sector union in Canada, we know that quality public services make our local communities stronger. Local elections matter because they impact the services we rely on every day, from our kids’ education to waste collection, and from maintaining our roads to keeping our drinking water safe.
We need to act together to help elect progressive candidates who support quality public services, like parks, libraries, recreation centres and public transit – and who support the workers who keep these services running.
Today, CUPE Ontario is launching cupevotes.ca, a tool to make it easier to find the progressive choice in your local election.
Simply go to cupevotes.ca and enter your postal code to see who your locally endorsed candidate is. We are working to identify new candidates every day and will be updating the website daily!
If you would like to get involved in the municipal elections, connect with your local, or send an email to Dhananjai Kohli at dkohli@cupe.on.ca.
Great municipal governments can make communities stronger, healthier, better places to live, and only a handful of votes can have a huge impact in municipal elections. Get involved today! |
