Vital Need for Volunteers to Maintain Campaign Momentum

by on 13. Apr, 2011 in Election

Ron Singer and Sarah Schroeder
Volunteer Chair and Canvass Chair

The change is palpable. Early canvassing in St. Paul’s has been strikingly different from the last election. We’re hearing first hand at the door an appreciation for Prime Minister Harper’s leadership through the recession and concern about what will happen if we don’t stay the course. To translate this momentum into success on May 2nd we need to knock on every door in the riding. To make this happen, We Need Volunteers Now!

One more shift, one more street could make the difference for St. Paul’s. Voters have a reason to vote – Maureen is a fantastic candidate. Now all we have to do is get out there!

We canvass every day. Here’s the schedule:

Weekdays:

  • Subway canvasses from 6:30-8:30am
  • Afternoon canvasses from 1pm – 4pm
  • Evening Canvasses from 5:45pm – until we stop

Weekends:

  • Morning canvasses from 10am – 1pm
  • Afternoon canvasses from 2pm – 5pm
  • Evening canvasses from 6pm – until we stop

There will also be some rush-hour subway canvasses during the week starting at around 5pm

Subway canvasses meet at the subway station and volunteers must book in advance.

All other canvasses meet at the campaign office at the beginning of the shift. Everyone is welcome: an e-mail or call to let us know you’re coming would be greatly appreciated.

If you would like to volunteer to canvass or to help Maureen’s campaign in other ways, please:

Other Ways to Help

In addition to canvassing, we also need help:

  • At the campaign office
  • Answering phones
  • Putting up signs
  • Stopping by the office to offer your support

Any way you can help would not only be appreciated but would put us that much closer to winning St. Paul’s.

We hope to hear from you soon!
