Lesson 8: Media:

STUDENT VOTE 2019
ABOUT: Student Vote provides youth under the voting age with an opportunity to experience the voting process firsthand and build the habits of active and engaged citizenship. The program is an excellent way to create a ‘teachable moment’ out of the official election.
Students learn about government and the electoral process, and research the issues, parties and candidates through classroom learning, campaign activities, media consumption and family dialogue. On Student Vote Day, students take on the roles of election officials and coordinate a vote for the election candidates running in their school’s electoral district. The results are reported to CIVIX confidentially and shared publicly following the close of the polls.


Student Vote is the flagship program of CIVIX, Canada’s leading civic education charity. Since 2003, CIVIX has coordinated 34 Student Vote programs at various levels of elections. In the 2015 federal election, 922,000 students cast ballots from 6,662 schools representing all 338 ridings.

The Student Vote project for the 2019 Federal Election is being conducted in partnership with Elections BC and with support from the Vancouver Foundation. Participating schools will receive activity guides, campaign posters, electoral district maps, ballots and ballot boxes.
The program is offered at no cost and open to schools. 



Brooksbank grade 5 students will be participating in the Student Vote 2019 on Friday, October 18th!!!!
