Traditionally, youth voices have been ignored in political discourse in the lead-up to elections, this year Laidlaw Foundation wants to change that.

On May 7th, 2018 at the Daniels Spectrum, Laidlaw Foundation will be hosting a Youth-Focused Town Hall alongside their partners For Youth Initiative, the Citizen Empowerment Project, Ryerson Democratic Engagement Exchange, Toronto Youth Cabinet, Apathy is Boring, TVO, Twitter, the Young Women’s Leadership Network and more. Youth will get a chance to hear from and interview Premier Kathleen Wynne, Andrea Horwath (NDP) and Mike Schreiner (Green Party). Doug Ford (PC) has, unfortunately, yet to confirm.

Youth from underrepresented communities can RSVP on https://yth2018.eventbrite.com. Can’t attend in person? The event will be interactively live-streamed on Twitter under the hashtag #YTH2018, consider hosting a watch party at your school or organization!
