Television Broadcasting Students Produce Series of Election PSAs

Several Algonquin College Broadcasting – Television students have produced a series of compelling Public Service Announcements, encouraging youth to vote in the upcoming federal election. Each 15-second clip features an individual who finds them self in a social situation, but unable to speak as they’ve lost their voice, concluding with the tag line “You have a voice. Vote.”

“I really think this is a turning point for Canada, no matter the outcome,” said Emily Thiessen, a second-year student involved in the extracurricular production. “I immediately felt like it was a project I could put my passion into – this election has me completely invested. I’m incredibly thankful to be in a program where these opportunities are available!”

Voter information, including when and where to vote, can be found on the Elections Canada website homepage. Note: If you are not yet registered, you can do so at the polls on election day given you present acceptable identification.
