The Ministry of Status of Women has developed a guide for women considering running for municipal office in the 2017 municipal elections. The Ready for Her guide provides general information and resources to help prospective municipal candidates. It's worth checking out if you are considering running for municipal office this year.
Studies have shown how diversity improves an organization’s effectiveness.

Having more women means councils discuss more viewpoints. By hearing different voices and adopting different approaches, we can have innovative decision-making.
