Group mobilizing aboriginal people for October vote – StarPhoenix
August 28, 2015
A grassroots organization still believes education is the key to getting aboriginal people out to the polls in the upcoming federal election.
Earlier this year, Glenda Abbott and Melody Wood decided the impending federal election was too important to ignore, and together they launched Indigenous Vote Saskatchewan (IVS).
They were spurred into action because they thought a spring election could take place.
Abbott said the early mobilization played in their favour, because not only were they able to get indigenous people interested in the topic, they were able to compile a list of volunteers for the October election.
