Good morning to you all,
It has been some time since I sent out an email and I just wanted to touch base briefly with you today. An important opportunity for young women in our community who are interested in politics has a deadline of today. I apologize for not getting this out sooner! It is not a terribly complicated application and one young women from each riding will be selected to go to Ottawa in the spring and participate. Please look around you and see if someone might be interested and help them make the application.
Here is the link:
Below are some other links you might be interested in, that I have been researching a bit.
A few of us are planning to meet to talk about how to best support women locally who are thinking of politics in their lives. I know we just finished a municipal election, but we have a Federal one that will be here soon enough and honestly, we need the next 4 years to get an excellent group of women groomed and supported for the next election. Let's not decide at the eleventh hour because some CURRENT burning issue is driving you to engage. Make a decision to get engaged now....this doesn't mean YOU need to run, it just means you think this is important and can see yourself involved in some way. If that is you....I want to connect with you. We want to create a network that can support all of us as we go forward.
Are you or is someone you know always thinking about politics? Have you thought of running and why? Do you follow your government at the level you are most interested in? Do you go to council meetings? Do you watch them online? Do you meet with your candidates ( at all levels) and ask questions? If your only connection to politics is from behind your computer, then you are not really engaged. So let's meet, lets talk and see what transpires from there!
We will be calling a meeting of a few women just to start the conversation, and if you are interested please reply to this email and we will set a date to have a first face to face.
If you didn't see the overall result of the Huron County Municipal Election here is a good link for you.
These are the women elected/acclaimed in Huron County....let's CELEBRATE them!!
