A Workshop for Aspiring Candidates & Engaged Citizens
Do you care about the future of your community?

Local government shapes the places we call home—from safe roads and clean water to recreation, planning and community well-being. But effective leadership and engaged citizenship require more than opinions and good intentions. It’s a team effort that relies on engaged, informed citizens working alongside dedicated leaders to navigate today’s complexities and plan for tomorrow.

✅ Avoid the 7 Deadly Sins of Candidates (with humour!)
