School is back in session!
SUMA's Candidate School returns in 2024.
Candidate school is an opportunity for potential municipal election candidates to learn about being an elected official.
If there are individuals in your municipality who have expressed an interest in municipal politics and running for council we encourage you to invite them to participate in the virtual Candidate School for your sector.
We ask that you share the invitation publicly using the promotional poster and invitation to residents that SUMA will provide, and share our social media posts about the event on your municipalities social media channels.
