We can build a sustainable Canada.
We can build an inclusive Canada.
We can build a healthy Canada.
We can renew our democracy.
We can build a sustainable fiscal framework.
2007 is our first year as the Ryerson Greens and we're excited about becoming an established voice on campus. We are the Green Party's presence, which means not only politics but ground level activism. We want to see Ryerson become the best and most sustainable campus it can be.
The Green Parties of Ontario and Canada have been growing exponentially. The 2007 provincial election saw the party's popular vote jump by 386%. Federally, the party has polled as high as 14% and we are looking forward to a by-election in Ryerson's Toronto Centre riding very soon. Be a part of the excitement.
Being early in our evolution, we're still trying to define our role. We want to host events, speakers, and be part of campaigns. That's for sure. But we also want your help. What do you want to see us do campus? E-mail us, come to our meetings, and get involved. We'd love to have you.
