seeking canDiDates <br />One of the most significant ways <br />for a citizen to engage at City Hall <br />is to put their name on a ballot <br />and run for Councillor, Trustee, <br />or Mayor. It’s an incredible op- <br />portunity that happens only once <br />every four years. Each election <br />there are 67 positions available <br />(44 Councillors, 22 Trustees and <br />Mayor). In the private sector, if a <br />company suddenly had 67 senior <br />positions to fill, they would invest <br />an enormous amount of energy <br />to announce the job postings and <br />hunt for a good crop of candidates. <br />But at City Hall, when nominations <br />open they do almost nothing. <br />Instead, we see a ten month <br />campaign encouraging residents <br />to ‘VOTE’ even though eight of <br />those months are technically the <br />‘Nomination Period’. How would <br />an ordinary citizen even know that <br />nominations are open to the public <br />and only cost $100? <br />the city’s spring <br />newsletter, seven <br />months before <br />the election. not <br />a word about <br />nominations. <br />strangely, the city seems more than able to promote <br />other kinds of nominations in toronto <br />this is the kind of ad we should see in toronto <br />Fun FacT! <br />During an election year, the city’s <br />nomination office is located in the far back hallways <br />of city hall - within the lottery office. at one single desk, <br />you can request an application for a bingo licence, a raffle <br />permit, or to run for mayor. <br />NOW OPEN! <br />Call forNominations2014 <br />TORONTOCITYCOUNCILELECTION <br />JOB DESCRIPTION:HOW TO SIGN-UP IMPORTANT DATES: <br />Nominations close September 6, 2014Visit toronto.ca/election2014 <br />Call <br />Maecenas scelerisque tempor justo, non ullamcorper mauris scelerisque a.
