Fredericton Homeless Shelters encourage resident voting for federal election Monday

With the Canadian Federal Election coming up on Monday, April 28th, all sectors of society are pushing for increased voter turnout.

Warren Maddox, the Executive Director of Fredericton Homeless Shelters Inc., explained the steps his shelters take to ensure that residents who might not have a traditional permanent address are still eligible to vote.

Warren and the other shelter staff believe it’s important to ensure that residents have all the support and options necessary to contribute to Canadian democracy.

Warren also explained how shelter resident’s priorities might differ from other voters, noting that many are focused on day-to-day living. A primary concern among shelter residents is stability.
