It's municipal election day in Ontario. Across the province, voters will be choosing who will lead their city, which councillors will represent their wards, and who has been elected as a trustee for their schools.
It's an important day.
You get to have your say about who you think is the best choice for mayor, who will fight for your best interests in your neighbourhood, and who will steer policy in the various school boards. These are issues and policies that affect you the most, can have an almost immediate impact, and sometimes touch your life more than a provincial or federal election.
Get out and vote.
If you need more information about the Ontario municipal elections, go to their Web site. To learn more about your municipality and who is running, go the list of Ontario municipalites.
If you're eligible to vote, vote. It's not just a right: it's a responsibility. As a reminder, only about 18 percent of eligible Ontario voters cast their ballot in the last provincial election. As a result, look who we got stuck with.
Vote.
For myself, I have already voted in an advance poll. This evening, I have volunteered to be a scrutineer at a polling station in my ward. I just wanted to help in any way that I could, even though it's a small way.
Vote.
