Now its our turn. Come to the Agora Courtyard on Wednesday April 13th at 12:00 and show that you are excited about voting, that the youth vote is powerful, and most importantly---let our politicians know that WE WILL BE VOTING!
Come dressed in your best Canadian gear---red, white, dorky hats, flags, the works!
This is your chance to get Youtube famous---don't miss it!
**This is a strictly non-partisan event. We are not a protest, we are out to bring a positive message; getting youth excited about voting! Let’s show how we can unite for a bigger cause, regardless of political opinion. Bring your energy, bring your friends, bring your excitement about participating in this election, but please leave your partisanship at home.**
