Young Greens in 2006

There are nearly 80 Green Party candidates who are 27 years of age and under running for us in the local election campaigns this year. It's important not just to advocate on issues relevant to young people, but also to involve them and interest them in the political process. Public transit, fair trade, crime, councillors sitting as governors of local schools, health inspections of takeaway restaurants, taxi ranks with information on competing companies and fares, library facilities ... all of these are determined by local councils, and all of our votes count.
