El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
2. Elections are
really important!
• Elections are when
adults vote for the
people that are
going to make
really big decisions
that will impact all
of us.
• We are voting in
the Municipality of
Clarington, which
sits inside of the
region of Durham.
Where do you live?
Durham Region has 8
Municipalities!
3. You all live in
Durham Region!
• Durham Regional “Council”
has 29 members
• The members include
the “Regional Chair” and
8 “Mayors” from the 8
municipalities.
Regional “Councillors” from
the 8 municipalities are also
members.
The Ward Councillors do
NOT sit on Regional Council.
4. Who Do We
Vote for?
1. A Regional Chair
(All of Durham
Region!)
2. A Municipal Mayor (Clarington)
3. A Regional Councillor
(Clarington & Durham Region)
4. A Municipal Ward Councillor
(Clarington)
5. A School Board Trustee
(‘School Boards’ are a different
map altogether!)
6. Clarington is divided into four “wards”.
Each ward has a local Councillor and a Regional
Councillor.
“Electors” (people
who are allowed
to vote) in each
‘ward’ can vote for
the people who
are “running” in
each ward.
What ‘Ward’ to you live in? Who is ‘running’ in your ward?
I’m
Running
Here!
7. What does
Municipal
Council do?
Why is this
important?
• They represent the public
and they make choices that
impact the well-being
of Clarington & the people
that live here (us!)
• They develop and evaluate
the policies, the rules and
the programs for
Clarington
• They determine what kind
of services Clarington
should provide. Can you
think of any services?
• They make sure the taxes
($$$) that we pay are spent
wisely. Our taxes pay for
the services!
8. Who Organizes the
Elections?
•Every Municipality has
a “Municipal Clerk”
who is in charge of
running the election.
•This is a really
important job!
9. Why Vote?
• Your Region and Municipality is responsible for
the day-to-day services you count on, such as fire
and police services, water, parks, transit, roads
and public libraries.
• Your municipality decides how your parents’
property tax dollars are spent. Their vote and
who they vote for makes a real difference!!
• School trustees decide how best to meet the
needs of students by overseeing the building and
the care of schools, hiring the teachers and staff
needed to run them, and authorizing spending
on educational programs and initiatives. Sounds
important, hun?
10. WHEN DOES
MUNICIPAL VOTING
HAPPEN?

materials

for you!
