What’s the personal story behind how you’re voting in the next federal election? What’s the one issue that matters most to you and why? 

Libraries are helping spread the word about this opportunity to make your voice heard: CBC’s First Person wants your story in your own words – not to convince others to vote the way you do, but to let others know the story behind your choice. This is a paid writing opportunity! Good luck! Details at www.cbc.ca/FirstPersonCallout
