Get involved

This campaign runs on neighbours

Volunteers, lawn signs, coffee conversations and donations. Every one of them puts this campaign in front of another family in SD62.

I believe in bringing people together to create positive change. That is how SoberFest was built and it is how this campaign will be run.

Let's build safer, more stable and stronger schools—together.

Volunteer with the campaign

Knock on doors, drop literature, make calls or help at events. Tell us how much time you have and we will find the right job.

Take a lawn sign

Signs go up across SD62 as the campaign gets closer. Ask for one for your yard or your business.

Host a coffee conversation

Invite a few neighbours, parents or school staff. Mike will come and listen to what your school is dealing with.

Share what you're seeing

If you teach, support students or send your kids to an SD62 school, your experience shapes the priorities.

Getting involved

What volunteers and supporters usually ask before they sign up.

I've never volunteered on a campaign. Can I still help?

Yes. Most volunteers have never done this before. You will be shown exactly what to do and you will never be sent out alone on your first shift.

How much time does it take?

Whatever you have. Some people give two hours once, others give an evening a week. Both matter.

Can I get a lawn sign?

Yes. Send your address through the form and a sign will be dropped off once signs go out across SD62.

Can Mike come to my neighbourhood?

Invite a handful of parents, neighbours or school staff and Mike will come, listen and answer questions. Coffee meetings are the most useful conversations of the campaign.

I work in an SD62 school. Is it appropriate for me to talk to Mike?

Absolutely. Mike wants to understand why teachers and education assistants are leaving, and what would help them stay. You can write to him privately.

Where does donated money go?

Signs, printing, and the cost of reaching families across the district. Donations are handled through the campaign's donation page.

Sign up

Volunteer or request a lawn sign

Tell us how you would like to help, roughly how much time you have, and your neighbourhood if you would like a sign.

Sending opens your email application with the message pre-filled and addressed to Mike.
