On Monday May 2, RJC students participated in Student Vote 2011. In the weeks leading up to the vote Ryan and Joel's history classes conducted some research projects that allowed students to explore the federal parties. These were presented in chapel so students could make informed decisions. Following the vote the results were: Liberal 5, Conservative 12, NDP 18, Green 26. These results were added to the national Student Vote 2011 totals.
