Advance Voting Station at MHC
A voting station will be set up for advance polling TODAY, Wednesday, October 13 from 2 p.m. - 8 p.m. in MHC's front entrance (adjacent to Centennial Hall). Anyone who is unable to vote on Election Day-Monday, October 18- is welcome to vote at the advance poll.
Voting Info for Students in Residence
The Local Authorities Election Act, Section 48 governs the Rules of Residence for voting.
The Act states that a student who temporarily rents accommodation for the purpose of attending an educational institution is not considered to be living at their permanent residence. Rather, their permanent residence is where the student’s family members who are residents of Alberta live and with whom the student ordinarily resides when not attending an educational institution.
Students can only vote at the voting station assigned to their permanent address. Please help pass this message on to students.

Canada Savings Bonds have gone online!
Saving money doesn’t have to be challenging. Purchase the Canada Savings Bond (CSB) through the Payroll Savings Program for a safe, simple and secure way to plan ahead. By participating in the Payroll Savings Program, your bond purchases are deducted from each pay and start earning interest as soon as we receive your funds.
Purchasing a CSB is as simple as these three steps:
- Decide how much you want to contribute per pay. There is a minimum monthly contribution of $8 for the bond.
- Sign up online. Go to www.csb.gc.ca/employees and select Buy or Change my Payroll Savings Plan. Once you are signed up, your automatic deductions will start with your first pay in December and continue until you want to make a change or stop your purchase. You will need our organization ID: 15626.
- Access your account. You can access your bonds at any time at www.csb.gc.ca/employees and by selecting Manage my Payroll Savings Plan or over the phone, so your money is always there when you need it.
If you have any questions please visit http://www.csb.gc.ca/, or call Denise Paul in Human Resources at 3859.
