Why Global Saskatoon anchors are voting and what it means to them

SASKATOON – Global Saskatoon anchors explain why they are voting and what voting means to them.

Wendy Winiewski – Evening News anchor

I’m voting because although I have just one ballot, the act collectively has a major impact on the country I love.

Peter Quinlan – Meteorologist

I vote because I live in a country where I can, which is something I am thankful for and don’t want to take for granted.  As such, I feel a sense of responsibility to educate myself so I can make an informed decision and wisely choose a representative that I believe will best stand for what I value.

Lisa Dutton – Morning News anchor

Your vote is your legacy. I don’t want my kids to pay the price because I “didn’t have time to vote.” People fought for our right to vote. We owe it to people past, present and future.

Kevin Stanfield – weather specialist

I vote because my grandfather was a military man. His patriotism and the thousands like him secured my right and responsibility to vote and affect change in government.

Joelle Tomlinson – Morning News reporter

I vote because Canadians have fought long and hard for this right. It’s not a privilege, it’s a responsibility. As a 20-something year old voter in Canada, I am passionate about young people making informed decisions about who leads our country.
