We're excited this morning, like really excited, to finally release the calendar of events for the Trent Votes campaign. The TCSA and TUPS have been working all summer with the local candidates (shout out to all of the awesome campaigns in Peterborough-Kawarthas!), non-profits and democratic advocacy groups across Canada, and (of course) individuals at Trent University. This is the result of our efforts. Mark your calendars, add the events to your phone, place it in your agenda, because we're in for two months of exciting political discussions. And yes, you can use politics & exciting in the same sentence.
Here it is -- the list of events:
September 16th: Clubs & Groups Day (10am-4pm)! We’re officially launching our campaign at Clubs & Groups day. Visit the TUPS and TCSA tables all day for more information about Trent Votes, free give aways, and information on how to register to vote. Special guests will be in attendance at our official launch from 12pm-1pm!
September 24th: “Why Vote?” (Traill College, SH 105, 4-6:30pm). Come discuss why (or why not) students vote, ask questions, and discuss election issues. This event will feature a panel of political minded Trent Students, and opportunities for small group discussion.
October 8th: Meet Your Party, Party! (4pm-7pm, location TBA). Swing by the Trent’s beautiful campus, meet the candidates and their volunteers, and mingle with your fellow students. Music, fun, and light refreshments provided.
October 14th: Election Debates (4pm-6pm, location TBA). Are you ready? This is the BIG event. Trent University will be hosting local Candidates in a debate. If you’re still not sure who to vote for, or just want to see your candidate in action, this is the event for YOU.
October 19th: Election Day Party (5pm-10pm, location TBA)! Join us for a party to celebrate a great campaign. We will be waiting for polls to close and election results to start coming in. This event will highlight our team of awesome volunteers, fantastic students who participated, and fellow citizens who ROCKED this vote. Special guests, thank yous, and speeches will take place from 5:30-6:00pm from our Trent Votes coordinators.
Hopefully you will want to share these cool events with everyone on campus. We've made this easy. Below you will find a PDF document of our Calendar (feel free to print it off, send it to your friends, or to organizations you are involved in). You can also download the PNG attached on our website and share it on social media (or just share this post). You can also visit us on Facebook and share our posts at any time during the campaign.
Don't forget that you can sign up to volunteer with our campaign, and help with these events. We have orientation available online (September 7th) & in person (September 10th). We look forward to seeing you all on September 16th for our launch!
