Parents for Choice in Education is here to help you make an informed choice.
STEP 1: KNOW WHERE THE POLITICAL PARTIES STAND AND KNOW THE EDUCATION ISSUES
A candidate's affiliation with a political party indicates their broad ideological stance on major issues, and can influence the specific talking points they make on certain topics.
You can find our analysis of each party’s platform, together with a link to their policies, here.
From curriculum controversies to discussions about funding, as well as laws that forbid communication with parents, we have many resources on our website to help you understand the issues thoroughly and factually.
Sign up on our homepage to stay up-to-date through our e-mailed monthly newsletters.
Peruse past monthly newsletters in the "blog" section of our website.

STEP 4: TALK TO THE CANDIDATES
Candidates sometimes miss things in the business of an election. If they have not answered yet, please send your candidates this link to our questionnaire.
- In person. We have created a simplified, printable version of our questionnaire, so that you can ask your candidate specific questions – or follow up on their answers on our website. If you like a candidate, why don't you help out?
- Volunteer. Just a few hours of your time helps make a big difference, boosting your preferred candidate's chances of becoming one of the 87 lawmakers who will help set the direction of our province. Note, you can also volunteer for strong candidates who do not live in your area.
- Donate. Help your preferred candidate reach more constituents with their message.
