Elections

 

 

OCVO presents:

 

Making the Most of Municipal Elections

 

For community groups and associations, municipal elections provide a unique
opportunity to raise awareness of your organization and cause, to meet and
develop relationships with local politicians and to put your issue on the
municipal political agenda. Community groups wanting to take advantage of
this opportunity need to start planning now for Ottawa’s next municipal
election in November, 2010, just under a year away.  

 

Join us for the next OCVO workshop where political experts and practitioners
explore the opportunities that are available during municipal elections for
community organizations and what you can do to make the most of municipal
elections to forward and achieve your mandate and goals.

 

Date:  Monday, December 7, 2009

Time:  1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Location: The Chapel, Room 112, Tabaret Hall, 550 Cumberland Street,
