Young people in the Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam riding with an interest in federal politics can join a new youth council with Liberal MP Ron McKinnon.
McKinnon is starting the Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam Youth Council as a way to get young people to engage in the political process. It follows on Liberal leader Justin Trudeau's Prime Minister's Youth Council but allows young Canadians to have their say on a range of issues while staying close to home.
Anyone between the ages of 15 and 24 is welcome to apply, with the aim of including youth from different schools, neighbourhoods and local associations. Once selected, the council will meet several times through the year to discuss issues.
Applications are available at rmckinnon.liberal.ca/page/constituency-youth-council/ and are due by Sept. 30.
