Hand-drawn campaign worktable with Ward 4 outreach notes

Get involved

Five practical ways to pitch in.

Vote Higginson for St. Patrick's · A Community Voice · St. Catharines Ward 4

Neighbour-powered

Choose the way that fits

01 · Volunteer

Where I need the most help

This is the most useful thing you can do. Voters’ list access opens September 1, which is when door-knocking gets serious. Before then there’s plenty to set up with events, data work, neighbourhood coffees, and training materials.

Activity

Your information gets erased after the campaign and is used for shift coordination only.

02 · Get a lawn sign

Free visible support

Lawn signs can go up September 26, 2026, in accordance with the City’s election sign by-law.

03 · Tell someone

Word of mouth wins wards.

In municipal races, a word from someone trusted beats almost anything a campaign can do on its own. If anything on this site is worth passing along, that’s where it has the most effect.

04 · Reach Grant

Questions, ideas, things to raise.

If something on the platform doesn’t sit right, or there’s a Ward 4 issue I should be hearing about, email is the fastest way. I read everything and respond to most within a few days.
