It is such an exciting time to be a Young Green.  There are more campus clubs than ever.  The campus clubs are more active than ever.  The Young Greens Council (YGC) has developed a great set of materials (post cards, t-shirts, condoms, buttons, etc...) to support campus clubs during the back-to-school season that are sure to bring in recruits.  The materials will be making it to campuses in the next few weeks.  Also the new and improved Young Greens website will be launching very soon. Having seen it I can say that it is very impressive.

Katie and Ottawa Vanier candidate Caroline Rioux tabled yesterday at the University of Ottawa and signed up a few dozen new volunteers in just a couple hours.  CPAC even come out to film them for a profile they are doing on Katie.

The Green Party of Canada is polling at around 26% among voters under 25.  Katie was telling me yesterday about all of the young people who said they had never been into politics but want to help the GPC.  Young Canadians from all over the political spectrum are interested in and excited about the Green Party.

If there is a campus in your riding ensure that your candidate gets there and talks with students.  Also have a team in place to get out the student vote on election day.  If the campus in your riding does not have a campus club and you would like to start one or your campus has a club and would like to order Young Green materials please email the YGC at youth@greenparty.ca

If we put the effort in on campus and get students out to vote our result in the next election will surprise just about everyone.
