Election campaigns can be very expensive. Printing flyers and signs and renting an office are all part of a good campaign. if you support a local candidate, consider making a donation to help them get their message out to voters. The City has a generous rebate program designed to subsidize campaigns. You can get up to 75% of your donation back from the City. (ie: if you donate $200 to one candidate, you will get a cheque from the City for $150) Click here for a list of candidates in your area.

• Get your friends involved

Elections are important and are as cool and fun as you make them. Anyone can run, and anyone can get involved. Volunteering is a lot more fun to do with friends, so talk to your buddies and tell them that if they care about the city then they should try to find some time to contribute to the 2006 election.
