COUNT YOURSELF IN: Elections In Canada
SKU : DVD-450
The heart of our Parliamentary Democracy is the simple act of casting a ballot. Every election shapes Canada and sets the direction our nation will follow. Yet less than 25 percent of young voters between the ages of 18 to 24 cast a ballot. Even fewer take an active role in the electoral process. This film is aimed at educating students before they reach voting age to motivate them to become interested, involved and informed voters.
