Activity Brainstorming

Here is a partial list of the activity ideas our chapter generated
during the April 2006 AGM of the Waterloo Chapter. They are adopted
from meeting minutes taken by Craig Porter.

Activities

• Outreach to organizations (see below)
• High school/elementary school kits
• Educate ourselves PR (through talks, study groups...)
• Send articles to newspapers and other media.
• Create our own newsletter.
• Influence local community leaders about PR.
• Contact the local riding associations and MP/MPP offices (via
  visits, letters, etc.)
• Start a petition campaign.
• Clarify the expectations of a new voting system (keeping in mind
  that FVC does not endorse any single system).
• Contact the Citizens' Assembly (is that allowed?) and research
  the community input element in the Citizens' Assembly process.
• Study election systems in other countries -- both good and bad.
• Send direct mail door-to-door. (This needs money.)
• Create a resource listing with articles, information, and case
  studies.
• Get on local lecture series (e.g. with the KPL)
• Take organizing to the street: malls, community centres, soup
  kitchens...

Organizations we can contact

• Student societies at the university.
• Political riding associations.
• Neighbourhood associations.
• Local schools.
• Community Centres
• Unions/Employee Associations
