Enumerators for Elections Canada visited UW housing between April 10 and 16 to compile a permanent voters list, but may have missed some residents. A package of information containing a mail-in registration form should have been left by enumerators at each residence at which there was no response.
"I know they didn't hit everyone, because I live on campus and I wasn't done," said Leanne O'Donnell, residence life director for the housing department. As well, she has spoken with other staff living on campus who were missed by enumerators.
The procedure differed from last time, said O'Donnell, when dons were sworn in and paid by Elections Canada to conduct the count.
Anyone missed this time is advised to phone Elections Canada at 1-800-463-6868 for information. An eligible voter's name can be added to the list during the revision period, at the advance poll or at the regular poll.
UW's early movers and shakers will be honoured at the 40th Anniversary Founders Celebration on Tuesday, May 27, with a lecture by history professor Dr. Kenneth McLaughlin, "The Unconventional Founding of an Unconventional University," based on research he conducted for a history of the institution.
A plaque will be unveiled to pay tribute to the founders who, "faced with formidable circumstances, but unwilling to be daunted by them...were seized by the opportunity to organize a new university with programs which could respond to Canada's present and future needs and do it quickly," according to the invitation which is being sent to those who served on the board of governors from 1957 to 1962.
