OUR GOAL

To increase the number of women elected to municipal office in order to more fully represent the population it serves.

WHY? Women bring a different perspective to the political table based on their life experience.  An elected municipal council who better reflects the diverse composition of people in the region will help bring this perspective to important decisions made at that table.

Our Three Strategies

  1. Encourage women to run for office and help them win

  2. Support newly-elected officials so they thrive in their first term of office

  3. Inspire elected women to seek to serve multiple terms.

All electHER Now programming and resources are offered without financial barrier, either free or on a Pay What You Can basis. Please support the work of electHER Now as you are able.

Our Guideposts

electHER Now is a non-partisan organization and is not affiliated with or financially-supported by any political party or lobby group.

We respect every candidate’s right to fairness and impartiality, and do not endorse individual candidates during the election period or provide financial support to any candidate.

While we support elected women, electHER Now does not take a position on decisions made by individual councils.

At this time, we are focused on the municipalities in the Grey Bruce regions of Ontario.

WE ACKNOWLEDGE that electHER Now virtual and in-person events are hosted on Saugeen Treaty No.45 ½ land, the Traditional Territory of the Anishinabek Nation: The People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway, Odawa, and Pottawatomie Nations. We give thanks to the Chippewas of Saugeen, and the Chippewas of Nawash, now known as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land.

Our meeting place is home to many Indigenous peoples, First Nations and Metis from across Turtle Island whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to influence our vibrant community. May we live with respect in peace and friendship with all its diverse peoples.
