Empower Me’s COVID-19 Response

With the COVID-19 situation continuing to change, we are always considering what is best for the health and safety of our staff and the communities that we serve. As a people-first organization, we are being as cautious as possible to ensure the safety of our staff, community members, and the general public.

Following Health Canada’s recommendations, Empower Me will be temporarily suspending all of our Energy Saving Workshops, Home Visits, and events starting March 16, 2020 until further notice. All our staff members will be working from home during this period, as per Health Canada recommendations.

We are monitoring the situation closely and will keep the lines of communication open. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 403-536-4006 (Alberta) or 604-307-8428 (BC) or by email at [email protected].

Thank you,

Yasmin Abraham

VP Business Development & Co-Founder

恭喜你終於成為加拿大公民！除了能夠免簽證去多達一百六十個不同國家，你終於有權在今屆聯邦大選投票。在上次二零一五年大選中，七十位聯邦議員僅以低於百分之五的選票當選，所以你的一票是相當重要! 假如你是初次投票，Empower Me 特意為你準備了投票指南: 確認你的投票資格你必須 (1) 是加拿大公民 (2)在選舉日當天年滿十八歲或以上才能享有選舉權利。登記做選民登記做選民: 你可以在網上查看你的選民資料。假如你尚未登記，你可以在加拿大選舉事務處網上登記。心動不如行動!你現在可以在十月十五日 (星期二) 晚上六點前左任何一間加拿大選舉事務處內投票。你亦可以於十月十一日至十四日早上九時至晚上九時在指定投票站內預先投票。當然，你也可以在選舉日十月二十一日投下你的一票。帶齊所需文件記得帶備政府核發的身份證明文件或選民身分證和其他證明文件到投票站。未決定如何投票？記得在投票前先細閱各政黨的政綱。選舉日見！ For English, click HERE Read more
