Electoral Reform Town Hall in Owen Sound
When: Wednesday October 26, 7 PM
Where: Harmony Centre, 890 4th Avenue E., Owen Sound
Contact: BGOSERRE@gmail.com
For the past four months, the all-party committee on electoral reform (ERRE) has heard from expert witnesses from Canada and around the world, travelled Canada holding public open mic sessions, and received hundreds of reports from MP town halls and citizen dialogues. ERRE is in the final days of witness testimony and over the next few weeks, they will be meeting to negotiate a recommendation for a new electoral system for Canada. This is the best chance in history to make every vote count.
Please show up to learn about and discuss electoral reform, and voice your support for a made-in-Canada system of proportional representation.
When: Wednesday October 26, 7 PM
Where: Harmony Centre, 890 4th Avenue E., Owen Sound

Although an overwhelming majority of experts at ERRE with an opinion on electoral reform so far (89/99) and the majority of citizen opinion during the consultations has been for proportional representation, the report MP Larry Miller submitted to ERRE from this riding concluded that his constituents want to keep first-past-the-post and they want a referendum.
There is still time to influence the ERRE committee. The feedback from this town hall will be sent to ERRE. Please share this event with friends,
Thanks for supporting the campaign to make every vote count!
