This resource was created to help literacy practitioners engage adult learners in civic literacy in advance of the 2021general election. Students will learn about voting basics, such as how to register to vote, the different ways to vote, and the accessibility resources available. They also guide practitioners when talking to their students about why voting is important and what to expect at a polling station.
Vote PopUp is a toolkit to spark interest in elections and make the voting process easier to understand for first-time voters and those who don't vote often. It includes everything needed to create a simulated polling station (ballot box, voting screens and sample ballots) as well as a guide on best practices.
Democracy Talks is a set of practical tools and resources to help make democracy more inclusive. It provides activities that are now part of existing community programs. Democracy Talks is for any local or national group that would like to use a non-partisan approach to empower its members and create a culture where people are involved in moving democracy forward. It can be especially useful for groups that work with marginalized people who face economic or social barriers to inclusion, or with newcomers who want to learn about how Canadian politics works and how to get involved.
