Part of completing high school and moving on to community college or university is becoming a responsible, informed citizen.
Looking forward to the first election during which you get to fill in a ballot.
Every year Pam Damoff, the MP for Oakville North Burlington, creates a youth council for young people who want to learn more about what politics is about.
Oakville North Burlington MP Pam Damoff with one of her community youth council groups.
In a recent report to her constituents Damoff asks:
Are you in high school, passionate about federal politics and eager to make a positive impact in the community while meeting like-minded people?
Consider joining my youth council and be a voice for our community. Youth council will run from November 2023 until June 2024 with a time commitment of approximately one meeting per month starting on November 15.
All members are also eligible to receive volunteer hours for their participation which can be used towards their graduation requirements.
The deadline to submit an application is October 23rd.
Pam Damoff: Oakville North Burlington MP
Young people are not likely to come across an MP who is as kind, caring and always ready to make time for others. It’s something to do with her DNA.
The Gazette has not always agreed with Damoff; we would like to see her be more accessible with media. Politicians really don’t get to choose which media they will work with and those they tend to ignore.
But when it comes to mentoring young people – you won’t do better than Pam Damoff.
