In the recent provincial election in Prince Edward Island voter turn out was 83% - higher than any other province usually attains. This figure is even more amazing when you consider the fact that Hurricane Juan struck the island just before daybreak and caused power outages along with downed tree limbs.

Traditionally P.E.I. has a high turn out. WHY? Probably because of the small population everyone is very attuned to what is happening politically since the “arena” is not large. In more urban areas the focus suffers somewhat.

Next month municipal elections will take place throughout Ontario. What issues in your area affect the “advancement of the status of women”?
