Election Day is Here! Let Your Voice Be Heard!
Today is the day. As we go to the polls and vote, let’s remember that our vote is powerful. Indigenous peoples make up 4.7% of the Canadian population, yet we are significantly underrepresented in Parliament.
In the 2021 federal election, Indigenous Members of Parliament only represented 2.7% of the 338 seats. We have only had the right to vote since 1960. This election, we have the chance to help change that.
Voting is not just a right; it's a way for us to influence the policies that affect our communities. From economic reconciliation, our children, to clean water and self-determination, the promises made by political parties need to translate into action.
Whether you align with the Liberal, NDP, or Conservative platforms, remember the importance of your vote. Let’s hold our leaders accountable. Let’s make sure our voices are heard. Don’t let the chance slip by. Go vote, support Indigenous candidates, and stand up for the issues that matter to us. Your vote today will shape the future of our children and generations to come.
Key Information for Voting:
• Polls are open until 9 p.m.
• Check your voter information card for your assigned polling station.
• Need help? Call Elections Canada at 1-800-463-6868 for assistance.
Let’s make today count! For our communities, for our future.
