🗳 Student Vote: Learning About Canada’s Federal Election

 

Our class has been learning all about Canada’s federal election! We explored what political leaders and candidates do, and how each party has a platform—a set of ideas and plans for our country.

To put our learning into action, we took part in the Student Vote program. We each received a real ballot, marked our choice in private, and placed it in the ballot box—just like in an actual election.

It was a great way to learn about democracy, how voting works, and why every voice matters. 🇨🇦
