Political Gossip with Friends: Referendum Edition
With 10 questions headed to ballots across Alberta, we’re all in prep mode for the largest referendum in Alberta’s history. Spanning immigration, constitutional amendments, and separation, voters will be deciding on issues that could send Alberta down a very different political and policy path – and reshape how public services are accessed, funded, and delivered.
Our moderator Annalise Klingbeil will be joined by Falice Chin, Mat Steppan, Lori Williams, and Elise Stolte.
Join us as we break down:
The political dialogue shaping the referendum
The impact of the referendum on nonprofits’ clients, operations, and advocacy
How to connect with Nonprofits Vote for referendum resources and voting information
We want your help to shape the conversation! Submit your burning questions when you grab your ticket, and we’ll stir up the panel.
Whether you work in policy and advocacy or front-line service delivery, or you’re just a voter wondering how to tackle these questions, this conversation has something for everyone. We’ll set you up to cast your ballot fully caffeinated on context.
When: September 24, 2026, 2:00-3:30pm
Where: Virtual, hosted on Zoom
Who: Hosted by Nonprofits Vote, with moderator Annalise Klingbeil and panelists Falice Chin, Mat Steppan, Lori Williams, and Elise Stolte.
