FAIR VOTE CANADA CAUCUSES
Labour for Fair Voting
Contact: Cec Makowski or John Deverell, Labour@FairVote.Ca
The mandate of the Labour for Fair Voting caucus is to advance the FVC mission in labour organizations, promoting individual memberships, gaining organization support and donations.
Women for Fair Voting
Contact: Margaret Hoff, Women@FairVote.Ca
This group will focus on promoting proportional representation as a means of increasing the number and percentage of women serving in Parliament and provincial legislatures. Numerous studies have shown that the lists used in all PR systems help facilitate both the nomination and election of more women than first-past-the-post systems, such as Canada's.

Students & Youth for Fair Voting
Contact: Justin Carmichael, Youth@FairVote.Ca
SYFV is a self-directed and democratically-governed (of course!) campaign within Fair Vote Canada, focused on campuses and youth outreach. SYFV will work on the Fair Vote Canada mission: to bring fair and proportional voting systems to all levels of government and throughout civil society…including our own campuses. We are looking for fellow student and youth activists who want to help launch SYFV chapters on their own campuses.
