More than 7,000 schools across the country, including over 30 in this region, are taking part in Student Vote Canada’s election program.
With Canadians heading to the polls in the federal election on Monday, April 28th nearly a million students will be doing the same.
The program brings democracy to life in classrooms, giving students the chance to explore the parties and platforms, debate issues, and cast ballots for the actual candidates running in their local ridings.
It offers a unique snapshot of the priorities and perspectives of Canada’s next generation. Results of the student vote will be released after official polls close on election day.
More than 15 schools in Chinook’s Edge School are participating and so are over a dozen in Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools.
