Wanted: Feedback on restoring the ballot-box to its former glory
By JOHN HAMM and RUSSELL MacLELLAN http://thechronicleherald.ca/Opinion/898659.html

Democracy 250, a non-partisan body unanimously supported by the Nova Scotia legislature, is planning next year's celebrations. But more than just celebrate this important national milestone, Democracy 250 wants to generate a greater understanding of how democracy positively influences our lives and why voting is so important. Our schools will be a focal point for discussions, but it is a discussion we encourage all Nova Scotians to participate in.

We welcome your input: Democracy250@gov.ns.ca
Former premiers John Hamm and Russell MacLellan are co-chairs of Democracy 250.


Note: Democracy 250 is not currently associated with RTKNS but we certainly welcome their efforts to enhance the democratic experience in Nova Scotia. - Greg Pemberton
