Candidate Training

• Ever considered being a candidate for your local school board or municipal council?
• Do you want to run in the next municipal election?
• Do you know a labour-friendly person who is going to be a candidate?

This training will help with the basics of being a candidate – how to get started as a candidate; putting together a campaign team; fundraising; council/school board structure; and how to talk to the media. This workshop, based on the “CLC’s
Candidate Toolbox”, will help in the pre-election phase, the election campaign itself and beyond to describe how one survives victory or deals with defeat.

Organizer Training

Campaigns require organizers. This training will equip participants with in-depth organizing and coordinating skills to run campaigns. We will reinforce the importance of campaign strategic planning and the steps required to develop such a plan. This course will also strengthen skills in volunteer recruitment, leadership, problem-solving techniques, coalition strategies, campaign organizing and voter contact.
