On Line Voting for Surrey

I think this is a good idea. As it stands only 8% of the population currently gets out to vote. If we can develop a secure way to allow our citizens to vote on-line. This would be fantastic. I believe we could get it up to 20% to 30% or higher. It would encourage may who have a hard time to get off work, need to use public transit to get to a polling station can truly benefit from this type of system. I would like to see this happen. What do you think?

Surrey Voting Locations

This year, voters have the option of visiting any one of our 50+ locations in Surrey to vote. You will not be required to go to a specific location. Your voter card will have a list of locations open for voting. When you head out on November 19, just bring your voter card with you and pop in to a voting place at your convenience.

In late October, voter ID cards will be sent to households in Surrey.  These packages will contain voter cards, unique ID codes, and voting information for each registered voter in the household.  Please bring these cards to any voting location during the voting time period that begins with Advance Voting on November 5, 2011 and ends with General Voting Day on November 19, 2011.  If you do not receive a voters card, please bring identification listed on our Voter Registration page in case we need to add you to the voters list.

downloadable list of all of our voting locations for General Election Day, November 19, 2011 is available for those who want to print a full list.

Below is an interactive locator map to assist you with our Voting Places.  You can locate the addresses of Voting Places, their accessibility rating as well as proximity to public transit. There are many ways to view the map:

1.  Put in your address (ie 15105 105 Ave)
2.  Enter an intersection as xx st and xx ave, (example 152 st and 108 ave)
3.  Use the slider bar on the left side of the map to zoom to an area of Surrey
4.  Use the drop down ‘Voting Locations’ to locate a poll and it’s details.

For your convenience, you may also view the map as an aerial view (when zoomed).

The Surrey Urban Mission – A Bridge to Hope

The culture at SUM has been to build a community of faith, friendship, camaraderie and acceptance has been the experience to anyone who comes to the mission. They start by meeting people where they are at in life and providing many of the basic needs from meals, clothing, household items, participating in skill-building programs, developing a personal network, accessing community resources that will help them reach that next step on their path to getting a solid footing. Volunteers are a driving force in what makes the SUM a success in our community.
At the event they wanted to thank the countless supporters they have had over the past decade. It included thousands of individuals, businesses, schools, members of the faith based community, government representatives and community organizations. For more information or to see how you can get involved. Please call 604-581-5172 or e-mail sums@telus.net . You can always go to their website www.surreyurbanmission.org. I encourage everyone to find ways to get involved in your local community.

Consistant Look and Message

No matter if you are using social media, creating a business card or making a brochure for your company. You must work on an overall strategy. Sometimes it is hard to find the perfect look or message to say. Or maybe budget is a huge factor at the moment. I think you need to think of your marketing as an evolution, a process. Sometimes it will start to evolve as you starting working with the look and feel of what you are doing with your marketing. So do not be afraid to start with something. Gather the feedback, collect samples of what you do like and see how you feel about the advice. Remember that everyone has an opinion, but your marketing will and need to reflect you or your company. You are not going to please everyone. The most important thing is to just start moving in a forward direction. I know when you get there; you will know when you have arrived. I encourage you to just get started.
