WATCH: Get out and vote! Election Day October 19

October 19, 2015 —

Canada heads to the polls to vote in the federal election today between 8:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. We asked some of our students to weigh in on the importance of voting and the issues that matter to them. Watch them all on Instagram.

We asked Shanice Huziak what election issues matter to her. Want to share what matters to you as a student? Post your video telling us, tag it #umanitoba and we just might share it here. #elx42 #elx2015 #studentvote #mbpoli #cdnpoli
