U2011: Understanding the Manitoba Election Series
The Manitoba Institute for Policy Research (MIPR) and University of Manitoba political scientists partnered to convene a series of “Cafés Politiques” surrounding the 2011 Manitoba election. These events were all about accessibility – connecting citizens with experts in various public venues, like restaurants, coffeehouses, schools, bookstores, and shopping malls.

Monthly cafés were held throughout Manitoba in the nine months leading up to the October 4, 2011 election. Discussion topics ranged from the political engagement of women, youth, and Aboriginal peoples, to the rules and regulations surrounding the electoral process. The last U2011 café took place on October 5th.

U2011 will continue with a book and conference to follow in the new year. Check back for more throughout the fall or visit their website http://umanitoba.ca/u2011/.
