Public Advocacy
2022 Hamilton trustee candidate awareness campaign
During the 2022 municipal elections in Ontario, I worked on a campaign to increase public awareness of the school trustee elections happening in Hamilton. I researched each of the 59 candidates running for trustee positions for the four Public and Catholic boards that operate in Hamilton. This became a “Google Sheets” page that I promoted on social media and that was covered in local media. You can access the Google Sheet page here.
