Are you already active in your community? Have you ever considered running for elected office? Think you’ve got what it takes to make change happen for the better? We can help.

With the support of Status of Women Canada, Equal Voice consulted Aboriginal women across the country to find out what could be done to help support community members seeking leadership roles. The result is this campaign school: a guide to the requirements and demands of running for public office from the Band Office to the Prime Minister’s Office.
