Both grade 3 classes will be participating in the CIVIX Student Vote program. This is an election program that is run parallel with the federal election in October. You can find more information here: http://civix.ca/main/

I love this program, since it is so important that young people vote in any election. I encourage you to talk to your children about voting and why it's important!

In class, we will be learning about the electoral process, and will be learning about every party's platforms. When I teach it, it is definitely a simplified version and we don't get a chance to talk about every election issue. That would take up our whole grade 3 year!! 

If you are looking to help your child figure out who they would vote for, CIVIX recommends two different quizzes. I know they are still a bit advanced for grade 3, but with your help, they could take it through it!!
