Civic Literacy
October 15 to October 15, 2025
This workshop will have two primary outcomes: First, an overview of the main responsibilities of each level of government – municipal, provincial, and federal, as well as what areas overlap. The second portion will explain how individuals that are not Canadian citizens or are not at the age of majority to vote can actively participate in our political systems. Refreshments will be provided, and there will be a break between the two topics for those who wish to depart.
This workshop will primarily be presented in an open discussion/Q&A format with former Mayor of Banff and current Independent Senator Karen Sorensen and Brenda Stanton, former provincial candidate and shadow minister, moderating.
Time:
Wednesday from 6 pm to 8 pm
