Invite Geoff to speak to your class

Geoff tries to visit as many schools in Halifax West as he can to speak to young people. If you are a teacher in one of the schools in Halifax West and you would like Geoff to speak to your class, please contact our office.  Please give us a couple of weeks lead time for scheduling, as the House of Commons often sits for most of the school year.

How Canadians govern themselves by: Senator Eugene Forsey

Senator Eugene Forsey wanted us to know how government works in Canada for one very simple reason — there is nothing Canadians do in any given day that is not affected by how we govern ourselves. As he says inside this booklet: “We cannot work or eat or drink; we cannot buy or sell or own anything; we cannot go to a ball game or a hockey game or watch TV without feeling the effects of government. We cannot marry or educate our children, cannot be sick, born or buried without the hand of government somewhere intervening.”

Through his lively and readable booklet, Senator Forsey has helped tens of thousands of students, teachers, legislators and ordinary citizens in Canada and around the world understand the Canadian system of government. 

If you would like to obtain free copies for your class, please send your request, including the amount requested and the complete mailing address of the school to geoff@geoffregan.ca
