The Honourable Ken Cheveldayoff Minister Responsible The Foundation supports Government House by raising funds to invest into the for the Provincial preservation of this important Provincial Heritage Property and National Capital Commission Historic Site. The Honourable Ken Cheveldayoff Minister Responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission The Honourable Ken Cheveldayoff Minister of Central Services Minister Responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Legislative Building Regina SK S4S 0B3 Dear Mr. Cheveldayoff: It is my privilege to submit the annual report of the Government House Foundation for the year ending March 31, 2018. During 2016-2017, the trustees had engaged a consulting firm to consider options for fundraising. The consultant’s report, submitted to the board in March 2017, advised against holding a capital campaign at this time. It recommended instead a number of measures to increase community awareness of Government House and the Foundation and to develop the Foundation’s organizational structure, before embarking on further fund-raising activities. Accordingly, in 2017-2018 the Foundation, with the help of a professional facilitator, reviewed its mandate, structure, goals and strategic priorities. A fund-raising committee of the board assessed the potential and the means for attracting donations towards the capital needs of Government House. The Foundation also initiated quarterly meetings with the other partners in Government House – the Government House Historical Society, the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, and the Provincial Capital Commission – to coordinate activities on behalf of the House and offer mutual support.

  • Field Experimental Evidence on the Effectiveness of Direct Mail in A
    For Want of a Nail: Field Experimental Evidence on the Effectiveness of Direct Mail in a Political Campaign∗ Peter John Loewen D´epartement de science politique, Universit´ede Montr´eal [email protected] Daniel Rubenson Department of Politics, Ryerson University [email protected] This version printed on May 24, 2007 Note: This is a working dissertation article. Please do not quote or cite without permission. Abstract Direct mail is a pervasive feature of modern political campaigns. But does it work? This paper presents evidence from a field experiment into the effects of direct mail. Working with a front-running campaign during the race for the leadership for the Liberal Party of Canada, we randomly assigned a subset of convention delegates to receive a direct mail treatment. We then measured the effects of this treatment on delegates’ ratings and preference ordering of leadership candidates using a survey instrument. Our results indicate that despite its ubiquity, the direct mail had minimal and probably negative persuasive effects. 1. Introduction Does direct mail work? Political campaign managers certainly believe it does. In nearly every type of political campaign at every level of competition, some form of mail is used. Sometimes this mail serves the purpose of outlining a candidate’s position, or casting an opponent’s position in an unfavourable light. At other times it is used for fundraising. It also sometimes serves a mobilizing function, encouraging potential voters to participate in an election. Most often it takes up several of these tasks at once. Whatever its purpose, there seems little question that direct mail is a frequently used tool in politics generally.
