Fair Vote Canada is pleased to announce the Teacher Resources section of our website. The first teacher resource has now been added.
A Fair Vote? Rights, Responsibilities, and Decision-Making in a Democracy is an exciting new resource for Grade 5 Social Studies teachers, which was developed by the Elementary Teachers of Toronto and Fair Vote Canada.

What is fair? Grade 5 students explore government and fairness by comparing political systems and exploring democracies through a Citizens' Assembly.

BC all-party committee on Electoral Reform recommends a Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform! New polling shows BC voters support proportional representation.
Additionally, the Committee recommends that the provincial government consult local governments to determine the level of interest in alternative electoral systems for their communities."

In positive democratic news (for once!) the results of the BC Electoral Reform Committee and a recent EKOS poll of BC residents about Proportional Representation is very encouraging!
The question, as always, is whether we can convince the government in power, this time the BCNDP, to advocate for what the people clearly want and feel they deserve!
