Spring is officially here and with it comes new people, plans and priorities for Fair Vote Toronto! The overwhelming support we received from our community during the M-86 campaign was truly inspiring and we want to keep that momentum alive by offering everyone a chance to get more involved with our team of volunteers.
If you have a passion for improving democracy, we encourage you to attend Fair Vote Toronto’s Virtual Volunteer Rendezvous on Thursday, April 4th, 7:00-8:00 pm EST!
You’ll meet the Fair Vote Toronto Action Team and other volunteers, participate in a strategy session, and learn about our projects to bring Proportional Representation to both Ontario and Canada.
There are lots of opportunities for activism on our team:
- Community presentations
- Conventions & festivals
- Graphic design & meme making
- Newsletter writing
- Outreach & advocacy
- Social media (Twitter & Instagram)
- Strategy & messaging
You don’t have to be located in Toronto to help as a lot of what we do has a national focus. So, save the date and be part of the change you want to see in the world!

Did You Know?
Every “majority” government in Ontario since 1945 has been elected by only a minority of voters. The last time a single party in Ontario earned more than 50% of the vote was in 1937.
We outgrew the two-party system a century ago. It’s time to make results fair for all voters.
