Our Federal Election Ad Campaign
Mobilize. Take Action. Vote.
As Canadians prepare to head to the polls on Monday, April 28, the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) has launched a bold, non-partisan advertising campaign across Ontario to promote civic engagement and encourage voting rooted in core Canadian values. To learn more, read our media release.
RNAO is bringing the voice of nurses to media platforms around Ontario with ads in various daily and community newspapers, on radio and online. We are calling on nurses, health professionals, families and the public to vote in the upcoming federal election – and to vote with values in mind.
Most importantly: VOTE.
This is not a time to sit on the sidelines. Our future is at stake. Just look at the chaos and division south of the border – we cannot allow that to spill into Canada.
At the heart of RNAO’s campaign is a clear message:
- The Toronto Star: April 5
- Timmins Times: April 10
- The Belleville Intelligencer: April 12
- London Free Press: April 12
- Niagara Falls Review: April 12
- North Bay Nugget: April 12
- Ottawa Citizen: April 12
- Peterborough Examiner: April 12
- Sudbury Star: April 12
- Waterloo Record: April 12

How to vote:
You don’t need to wait until election day (April 28) to vote. There are multiple ways to vote early:
There are about 500 offices across the country. You can vote at any of them. Check your voter information card or use the Elections Canada Voter Information Service to find the closest one.
Office hours:
Monday to Friday: 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. ET
Saturday: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. ET
Sunday: Noon – 4 p.m. ET
Advance polls are open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET.
Again, use your voter card or the Voter Information Service to find your location.
If someone asks, here’s what to say: Vote for a candidate in your riding who has a real chance of winning – and who stands for the values we’ve outlined above.
It’s clear in this campaign who supports those values – and who does not. Vote wisely.
