Sometime in 2025, Canada will have a federal election. It could be as early as this spring.
We all choose to vote for different reasons. CBC New Brunswick wants to make sure your voice is heard.
What’s the one issue that matters the most to you? Do you have a specific personal story that illustrates your experience?
We’re looking for several people from across the New Bruswick to publish their perspectives on CBC. Not the same political talking heads, but real people with real stakes.
To express your interest, please fill out this Google form.
Perhaps you’re alarmed about high heating expenses and the cost of living. Perhaps your key issue is access to health care. You may be nervous about the economy and job losses. Living in a border province, perhaps you have something to say about our relationship with our American neighbours.
If you feel like your perspective isn’t represented or heard on a national stage, here’s your chance to help change that. Democracy is stronger when we hear perspectives from across all of our communities.
This is a paid writing opportunity and you don’t have to be a professional writer. You’ll be invited to an optional half-day online writing workshop with CBC’s First Person producer Tamara Baluja and other editors from across the country.
Want to see previous First Person columns we’ve published? Check out our website and FAQ here.
