Monopoly Enthusiasts Mobilize!
A new Monopoly Canada edition is being prepared, and the City of Kawartha Lakes has been selected as one of 65 cities across the country that are eligible to be included on the board. There’s only room for 20 cities on the Monopoly board, so the publisher is conducting an online vote competition. The winner gets the Boardwalk position, while the next top 19 vote getters will win positions at lower value properties on the board. You can vote once a day until February 7th at www.monopolyvote.ca.
Don’t be thinking that this is a long shot. So far we’re doing pretty well; the CoKL is in 7th place as of today. Log in, register, and place your vote every day. Tell your friends and family. Vote once. Vote often.
All Candidates meeting held
For those of you who missed it, a debate between the three Ward 7 by-election candidates was held at the Bobcaygeon Legion last Thursday, January 7. Two of our local publications attended and have reported on the event. The articles are relatively short in length and depth, so they don’t provide a great deal of information that might help sway those of you who remain undecided. You can read the articles yourself by clicking on the following links:
Don’t forget, you can contact the candidates directly if you’d like to ask them any questions. Their contact information is posted on the By-Election page.
Ballots have been mailed – Call the CoKL if you didn’t receive yours
Ballot kits for the Ward 7 By-Election have been mailed and should have arrived at your residence by now. If you have not received your ballot kit, you may not be on the voters list. If you didn’t receive your ballot kit, you can call Judy Currins, the City’s Returning Officer, at 705-324-9411 Ext. 1295 to try to correct any problems that they might have reaching you. To cast your vote, ballots should be filled out and back in the mail by January 20th.
