With your participation, the campaign will reach-out to candidates in all 308 ridings across Canada with the message about the power of sport. Together, we can ask each candidate how they propose to strengthen sport in Canada. Simply asking the questions can make all the difference when we work together. Join the campaign online here or on Facebook. Check this page for your local candidates' contact information. Be sure to ask their position on sport in Edmonton.
