Hello policy shop volunteers,

Just a reminder to restrict yourself to only ONE vote for a project in the new poll, with one additional vote to indicate whether you would be interested in acting as a leader for one of the final list projects. This round of voting is intended to structure our project groups for the 2019-2020 Saskatoon Policy Shop.
If you are a student volunteer who has voted for multiple projects, please revise your vote through the link below to select only one project. If you would like to volunteer for multiple projects, please vote for only one in the poll and contact student executive members to work out an arrangement.
We apologize for any confusion.
