The Edmonton municipal election training, sponsored by the Canadian Labour Congress and the Edmonton & District Labour Council, will take place on June 25 (6 p.m. – 9 p.m.) and on June 26 (9 a.m. – 5 p.m.)

Attendees can choose between the following two courses:

Municipal Fundamentals:  Ever wonder what your city council does, or how it works?  Do you know how a school board trustee impacts the day to day life of your children?  Their role?  We will look at the impact city councils and school boards have on our lives.  Not everybody needs to be a campaign organizer or candidate.  There is a role for you!  If you want to get active in the next municipal election this is the place to start.

Organizer Training:  Campaigns require organizers.  This training will equip participants with in-depth organizing and co-ordinating skills for campaigns.  We will reinforce the importance of campaign strategic planning and the steps required to develop such a plan.  This course will also strengthen skills in volunteer recruitment, leadership, problem solving techniques, coalition strategies, campaign organizing and voter contact.
