Seizing the

On November 19th the
citizens of Terrace will be going
to the polls...it’s your time fo
seize the opportunity.

Over. the course of time,
voting has evolved from a rare

privilege to a universal right.

Political power in Canada
was transferred first from the
colonial authorities to a select
few among the population, then
gradually to every citizen over
18 years of age. As the right
to vote was extended, so too
were the mechanisms by which
electors can cast their votes.
.As a result, exercising this right
today is simply a question of
seizing the opportunity every

time an election is called. Yet.
on average, about one out of:

four electors still forfeits. that
opportunity.

Canadians take pride in our
democratic system. Canadian
citizens have the universal right
to vote, and a strong array of
mechanisms guarantee thatthey
can exercise their right freel
and easily. However, wit
all this in place, it’s the 75%,
who forfeits their opportunity
to vote, who complain the most

about the governance that they.

did not elect.

Opportunity

In Terrace, we elect councilors
and trustees to make decisions
and enact laws on our behalf.
To ensure councilors and
trustees remain accountable to .

_electors;. the maximum interval
between electors is two years. |
This year we go to the polls on
Saturday, November 19th. -

On _ Tuesday, ‘November
lst at 7:00 pm “The Terrace.
Standard” «with assistance >

from the Skeena Valley Rotary
Club and the Terrace & District
