[Regan Sunshine Brusse]

Hello!

I wanted to reach out and invite everyone to the first of a new community
engagement series hosted by Regional Councillor Rob Deutschmann. This
ongoing series of virtual town halls will provide host to a variety of
topics important to our Waterloo Region community.

This first segment titled "Low Voter Turnout: Strengthening Participation
In Local Democracy" will include guest speakers and offer opportunity for
participant discussion as we collectively explore ways to improve local
democratic engagement.

I hope you can join us for this online event. It's scheduled to take place
over Zoom on January 26, 2023 from 6:30-8PM. Please RSVP via registration
on Eventbrite to receive the meeting link.
