Students of AcadeCap became informed voters as they learned about the candidate platforms and voting process, and participated in a week of activities that culminated with the Student Vote to elect the College Ward City Councillor and the Mayor of Ottawa.
The Civics class took on a range of roles throughout the campaign process, each running their own campaigns, creating summary information used to inform voters of the candidates' platforms and becoming polling officers at the Student Vote polling station. In another election, AcadeCap City elected City Councillors for each Classroom Ward and they elected co-Mayors for AcadeCap City. The elected officials will soon participate in a City Council meeting to review, debate, and hopefully resolve a key issue impacting AcadeCap City.

Edgar Allen Poe uses his powerful words to create strong imagery in his stories and poems. Students were asked to illustrate what they imagined the House of Usher to look like based on Poe's writing. Such hauntingly beautiful pieces of art.
The Civics students are taking the lead to organize a series of October activities, all of which are focused on the Ottawa Municipal Election. The School will be participating in Student Vote, a mock municipal election, where students become informed voters and submit a vote to ‘elect’ one of the 14 Mayoral candidates and one of the City Councillor candidates for College Ward. In addition, AcadeCap will transform into ‘AcadeCap City,’ with each classroom acting as a Ward. Civics students will run as AcadeCap Mayoral candidates and one student from each classroom Ward will be elected as an AcadeCap City Councillor. Later in the month, the elected individuals will participate in a mock City Council meeting and work collaboratively to develop solutions to improve AcadeCap City for the benefit of all its citizens.
