SJYC Offers Young Voter Lunch with New MP

Who Says Youth Don't Vote? The Saint John Youth Cabinet (SJYC) is compiling a list of young voters to prove that youth political engagement is alive and well in Saint John. The SJYC wants to hear from young people between 18 and 25 who will be voting in the Saint John riding in the federal election.
Registering with the SJYC will enter young voters into a draw for a chance to have lunch with the newly elected Saint John MP, which will give them a chance to bend their ear about issues that matter to them and other young people. The draw will also offer prizes from CDPlus, Empire Theatres, Future Shop, and Rogers Video.
The Cabinet will be passing the list of young voters on to the newly elected Prime Minister to show that Saint John's young people are concerned about Canada's future.
Young voters can register with the SJYC by sending the Cabinet their name, age, phone number, email address, and poll # after they vote on January 23. The SJYC is accepting entries by email (sjyouthcabinet@gmail.com), phone (506.636.8544), fax (506.636.8543), or in person at the SJYC office (Human Development Council, 3rd floor City Market, 47 Charlotte Street). Entries will be accepted until January 30, 2006.
Young people can get more information on the Saint John federal candidates and how to vote by visiting the SJYC's website at http://sjyc.blogspot.com.
