POLL: Seniors and kids voting in large numbers to save water slides
Seniors and daycare kids of Mont St. Joseph Care Home are pulling together to vote in massive numbers to help earn funding for Prince Albert’s Kinsmen Water Park slides.
As of 10 a.m. on July 22, the group voted 3,560 times on the Kraft/TSN Celebration Tour website, and the number keeps rising.
The care home’s staff set up a polling station in their lobby, manned by some of the staff’s children, to give the residents the opportunity to help out by voting, said Shelia Fazio, an administrative assistant at the home, and a member of the committee for bringing the Tour to Prince Albert.
“Not all of [the residents] have computers or know how to work them, and that’s the only way you can vote,” said Fazio. “So we thought of putting up these polling stations here at our facility to direct them and help them to vote, because they want to be able to contribute as much as they can.”
