  1. Meet with your MLA candidates and share the election materials detailing our priorities
  2. Share the election materials with: ​MLA candidates who come door-knocking during the campaign; Your family members, friends, and people you work with, and encourage them to tell others; Families and individuals in service, and encourage them to speak with their candidates
